ABOUT:
WallPaper is a simple windows wallpaper changer.  There are many programs like it but this one is mine.  Point it towards a folder containing graphics files and it will select one at random and display it as wallpaper.  Tile or centre will depend on your settings in display properties (background).  The period between changes is between 1 and 20 (your choice).  The period is loosely based on 2 minutes (nearer 2 min 10 sec).  It requires less than 0.01 seconds of CPU time to check between periods and 0.01 - 0.05 seconds to change the wallpaper depending on the size (bytes) of the selected graphics file.  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.  The first graphic is displayed after your elapsed period (tool tip and title bar do not display graphic name until after this period).  The program creates two registry settings HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VB and VBA Program Settings\WallPaper\Period and HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VB and VBA Program Settings\WallPaper\WallpaperLocation.  These are used to store your selected time period and directory location for graphic files.

INSTALLATION:
For non SIMTEL downloads run the setup program and follow the on screen prompts.  Once the program has been installed, move the shortcut to your start-up folder if you want it to run automatically each time you run windows.

UNINSTALLATION:
For non SIMTEL downloads run the uninstall program by selecting Add/Remove Programs from the Windows Control Panel.  When given the option to keep or remove shared files you are strongly advised to keep the shared files unless you are positive that other programs do not use them.  Programs written in visual basic 5 may use the same files.  The two registry entries mentioned above are not removed.  You may remove them manually.
