Wallpaper V 2.1.x - V 2.2.9999 (c) 1999-2001 Educe RegisterWallpaper@educesoft.com Visual Basic 6.0 is (c) 1987-1997 Microsoft, Inc. SIMTEL DOWNLOAD: The VB6 runtime files needed for this program can be found at this URL: http://www.simtel.net/simtel.net/win95/dll.html ABOUT: Wallpaper is a windows wallpaper changer. Point it towards a folder containing graphics files and it will select one at random or sequentially and display it as wallpaper. Auto tile/centre based on graphic/screen size and user settings is an option. The period between changes is between 1 and 100 minutes. The file name of your original graphic currently being displayed is shown in the main window title bar and as tool tip text for the icon in the system tray. It can also randomly change the wallpaper once and then exit. A right click menu is available when hover the mouse over the icon in the system tray. You can also run a screen show of your graphics. Multiple folders and multiple file formats are supported. Several other unique features. INSTALLATION: Use the installer or unzip the zip file. You can store it in any folder and place a shortcut to your start-up folder if you want it to run automatically each time you run windows. That's it. UNINSTALLATION: Use the uninstaller or delete the Wallpaper.exe file and remove the registry settings (caution: if you do not know how to edit the registry do not try. The settings will not cause any problems if you leave them). Install/Uninstall routines have not been included (in the Simtel zip) as they would be bigger than the program itself and as it is only one file it seemed a little over the top. A 3Mb version with install uninstall is available from Educe's website. USING WALLPAPER: Open the main window by clicking on the icon in the system tray. Select your graphics folder, click Add to add the folder to the list of folders, set your time period and wait. If you can't wait, press Random Wallpaper Change Now. That's all there is to it. To exit the program either close the main window (if it is open) or right click on the system tray icon and select exit. You can add as many folders as you want and the program will select a file at random from the list of folders (any stats buffs can test the random feature if you have nothing better to do). You can remove a folder from the list or add one at any time. Just ensure that at least 1 folder is in the list or the same wallpaper will continue to be displayed (not much point in that). The screen show can be run from the right click menu on the tray icon or by changing the period from minutes to seconds. To gain access to functions not shown on the main screen use the menu. This can also be displayed by hovering the mouse over the icon in the system tray and right clicking the mouse. You can restore the main screen, change the wallpaper, edit the wallpaper, delete the wallpaper file, run/stop the screen show, see the about screen and exit the program.
