You know, some peoples collections are big enough that they could probably produce real wallpaper!

Just out of interest, will windows automatically pick up the fact its changed or do you have to perform some magic to do this?

I believe that when you allow web elements on the XP desktop it refreshs automatically (since it loads the picture from the web).

But I didn't try it since I like "real" wallpapers like these:

Web elements get updated automatically.  However when you just specify an image that you want as a wallpaper, I think windows copies it somewhere and uses the copy.  I can test that tonight with xp and vista.
