Wallproggie  Version 0.11
This is a small program that will change your windows wallpaper to a random .bmp file selected from a list of your choosing.
If you put a shortcut to it in your startup folder (default location is C:\WINDOWS\Start Menu\Programs\Startup) then you can have a different background every time you startup your computer.
The program simply starts, changes the background and then quits, so it doesn't stay resident in memory.
The mode of the background doesn't change from what it already is.  If your current setting for backgrounds is tile, it will stay tile, if it's stretch, it will stay stretch.  This can be changed in the windows display control panel.
In order to choose which .bmp files you want to have it load (note, all background files must be of type .bmp in order to work) edit the file called "bump" with a text editor.  On each line put a different name of a .bmp file (IE picture.bmp) that you want it to have the option of picking.  Make sure that all .bmp files you want it to have the option of picking are in the same folder as Wallproggie.

If you want to use it as a random wallpaper changer every time your computer starts here's step by step instructions.

1.  Unzip Wallproggie into its own folder (you've probably already done this)
2.  Put all the .bmp files you want to use as backgrounds into the same folder as Wallproggie
3.  Edit the text file called bump by dragging it onto a text editor.  Add all the names of the files you want to have the option of picking there.
4.  Put a shortcut to wallproggie in your Startup Folder.  If you don't know where it is, it's probably C:\WINDOWS\Start Menu\Programs\Startup  Those running winNT or 2000 will have theirs in different places than this.
5.  Test it out by double-clicking Wallproggie.


Perhaps I'll add more features and make it slightly easier to use later.
