Win7: desktop background slideshow

[Dahak]

hey all, I have tried to look and see if I can find a way to increase how long it takes for the desktop background to change. The max default is only 1 day and would like to increase it to more.

anyone see that?

is this the new "simple"feature that replaces dreamscene?

There is a text label at the bottom of the screen that says "Change picture every:" with a combobox below it. Use the combobox

I think he is aware of that. He is asking how to make the picture change even less often than once per day.

Yeah, I would like to have that box or the option for say every 1 week

not quite, dreamscene was more for animated backgrounds where this just changes your desktop wallpaper randomly from as specified set

I believe DreamScene had a component that allowed image slide shows as well, Dahak. I'd guess this is a new implementation as I remember hearing all of the ultimate extras were licensed from other companies.

In return for f***ing up earlier, here is the reg key associated with Desktop Slideshow:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Personalization\Desktop Slideshow

Does it work? Not for me, I can't get it to transition in anything less than ten seconds. I can, however, toggle the shuffle setting via the registry and change the interval time, so I know these keys are associated with the feature.

So how do you get animated desktops in windows 7?
