It's been a while. What's your desktop?

Damn you Seno. Read that at midnight and thought to myself, "Oh that'd be cool! I should try that as well!". Four hours later, voila ;;

attached .zip has three files: .exe, .txt, and .cs (source, C#).

Edit the .txt file to point to the location of your wallpaper folder. Just run the program (DesktopRandomizer.exe), and watch your desktop magically change before your eyes!

Some images don't seem to want to work ( maybe ones that are 96 dpi? couldn't narrow it down) due to some weird things with GDI+/Bitmap() class.

If the image is larger than your desktop resolution, it'll be scaled down appropriately.

Any image smaller will just be set as the desktop background as normal. If you already have your desktop set to 'stretch' instead of center, ugliness might ensue.

Windows onry.

Working on getting C# to manage a scheduled task on bootup, but I'm tired and it didn't want to change my desktop to an actual image when it ran :\

I use Microsoft's Winter Wallpaper Changer:

I'm not sure what all of the frequency change options are. I use the one that changes every 30 minutes because I enjoy seeing coworker reactions on my different wallpapers.

A bump I know, but didn't see the point in making a new desktop thread.

Spoiler: show

Damn, how do you guys live with so few shortcuts? :/
I can't stand not having shortcuts to stuff I use at least a couple times a week, let alone the stuff I use every day.
