The reason I hate Vista is because I have to get the admin's approval for everything including istalling programs, that sort of thing never happened in XP.

You can do something about that easily. I'm using Vista and I quickly had to do this, because it was indeed becoming annoying.

Control Panel --> Security --> Security Center --> Other Security Settings --> User Account Control --> OFF

So basically you want to disable the User Account Control. Then you won't have like a personal security officer at every click you make haha.

Apoc: You can disable UAC in vista and windows 7, but in 7 you hardly ever get permission requests.

You don't need any kind of special programs or anything to take screenshots.

I have Vista. You can do it just fine. Just take a screenshot of your desktop and then upload it to a picture site like photoshack and then post it on the forum.

I don't think you understand. I'm not looking for an application to do this, I don't need someone to find me one. Ive created what I needed already and I doubt any other application can pull wallpaper automatically from the feed I use because of the way they have it done. I don't doubt there are hundreds of applications for changing desktop wallpaper automatically, and I never said I did.

I actually have an app that I wrote that grabs new wallpaper from the internet all the time (nature themed wallpaper because thats what I like). Get something fresh every 20-30 minutes.

Yeah, with a student discount you can get it for $30, but if your still on that aspire one I would recommend you hold off until you buy a new laptop one day with windows 7 preinstalled. The aspire one that comes with xp only has 1gb of ram if I remember and it will be a little painful to run 7 on, you won't get the full experience.

Oh, that's cool. I get sick of whatever background I have every few days so I'm changing mine constantly.

Yeah, 1 GB. I downloaded and ran the upgrade advisor off their website and it said it met all the requirements, so I kind of just assumed it would all be good. >.>

I've kind of been thinking about getting a new laptop anyway because it's kind of a pain using Eclipse and GIMP on the small screen. And it doesn't have a CD drive. -.-

There are hundreds that do that. I don't see where it says it loads them online.

Theres a specific site I like the nature wallpapers from, so I made an app to download them when there are new ones put on the site. They don't have a proper rss feed, thats why I needed to do it custom.

Ooh, I like your background! *_* And your Windows 7

Here's mine; my screen resolution is weird so I can never find any good backgrounds and just made this crappy one on GIMP. ):
Hopefully getting Windows 7 soon with my student discount (:

There is a freeware program that does that. http://jamesgart.com/wallpaperchanger/
