How to automatically rotate wallpapers in Windows 7
Posted on October 24, 2009 at 5:22 am
Windows 7 has some cool new features, some of which I discussed in a previous post detailing Windows 7 features. One of those features that I had not discussed was the fact that it now has a built-in tool to rotate wallpapers on your Windows 7 desktop.
In this article, I will walk you through the steps for setting up your Windows 7 desktop to automatically change wallpapers at specified time intervals.
First, go to Start and then Control Panel. Now click on the Personalization link or click on the Appearance and Personalization category and then click on Change desktop background.

Throughout history, people have had “to do” lists. Whether it was something as mundane as taking out the trash on Friday, or as elaborate as conquering the Roman Empire, at some point, we have had to jot down a task somewhere in case we forgot.
