Windows 7 can create a customised wallpaper slideshow.
As well as allowing you to load animated wallpapers, Windows 7 also enables you to create a slideshow of pictures that it will rotate through automatically. Right-click on a blank area of the desktop, choose Personalise and then click the Desktop Background link at the bottom. Ctrl+click or drag a box around the wallpapers that you’d like to use, then set the interval time for the slideshow via the drop-down list at the bottom. Check the Shuffle tick box if you want the selected images to appear in a random order. Click Save changes to confirm.
