Hi Outlaw.

That video was many years ago and to be honest I don't remember how I was doing it.  I was probably using EventGhost.

For your purposes the easiest method would probably be to use a command line utility like this one: http://sg20.com/techblog/2011/06/23/wallpaper-changer-command-line-utility/

Put the exe into your VC folder and then use a command like this one:

Code Select Expand

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<!--VoxCommando 2.1.0.8-->
<command id="281" name="change wallpaper" enabled="true" alwaysOn="False" confirm="False" requiredConfidence="0" loop="False" loopDelay="0" loopMax="0" description="">
  <action>
    <cmdType>Launch.Hidden</cmdType>
    <params>
      <param>Wallpaperchanger.exe</param>
      <param>"D:\rolls\20101212" 3</param>
    </params>
    <cmdRepeat>1</cmdRepeat>
  </action>
  <phrase>change wallpaper</phrase>
</command>

You'll need to modify the path to point to an image file or folder which contains images.

The program converts the images to .bmp format so if your images are large there will be a small delay before the wallpaper changes.  If your images are already in .bmp format it might be faster.
