    Hey i was wondering if there was a way to automatically change your wallpaper on vista like a sideshow . I know you can do this on a OS X but wondering if you could on windows.

    Do a google search for Wallpaper Changer Vista, lots of results, then just choose the program that works best for you.

    I use Random Desktop. It's pretty lightweight and very easy to use.

    How much memory does yours use, yatzin? I currently use Uranium Desktop, which takes 2,688 Kb, but I'm always open to lighter options.
