These are all gorgeous. I will have to use one at work. Unfortunately, at home I only have Windows 7 Starter and that doesn’t seem to allow me to change my wallpaper… Thanks for posting these! 🙂
There are some programs out there that let you do that. There’s one that’s not around anymore because it violated Microsoft’s EULA, but there is another one that doesn’t. Unfortunately I can’t remember it off the top of my head.
This might help 😉 http://goo.gl/ooJyx
Haha WIN!
Hehe cheeky. But I wouldn’t be reading Lifehacker religiously if I hadn’t already tried that. 😉
I used to go into the system and change it manually, but I just found my OS becoming too sluggish. Mind you I use my netbook as a replacement desktop, so that probably adds to the sluggish-ness. But yes, thanks for the well-intended advise. 🙂
