Wallpaper rotator is a free program to change your windows wallpaper.

The easiest method to change you windows wallpaper anytime you like. Just run Wallpaper rotator. The program will select a wallpaper from a specific user-defined folder where you have copied your favorite wallpapers, change the wallpaper and then gracefully exit without consuming any memory of computers resources at all.

You can easily configure wallpaper rotator to automatically start with windows so that you have a fresh new wallpaper every morning. You can also create a shortcut n your desktop, or your "quick launch" toolbar, so that you can can change the wallpaper every-time you fill like just by clicking on its icon.

The program works on Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7.

Features

  • Does not consume any system resources (does not stay resident)
  • Automatically scans user selected folder and its subfolders for images
  • Can Read/follow windows shortcuts to images and folders.
  • Supports bmp, jpeg and png image files
  • Option to correctly stretch images without disturbing their aspect ratio
  • Option to automatically choose a desktop background color that "fits" with the image

An important (and very handy) feature of wallpaper rotator is that it can read and understand windows shortcuts to image files or folders as if they were real image files and folders. This is very handy beacause you can set as your "source folder" an empty folder and then create and place there shortcuts to as many folders as you wish or shortcuts to indivisual image files.
