BGConfig
BGSelect (Main)
BGSelect (Selection)
After running BGConfig (also included), which sets up which directory you wish to use for Wallpapers and which wallpaper is your default (your current wallpaper when you run BGConfig), you can run BGSelect to change your wallpaper.
What good is BGSelect, you may ask? Well, for Windows 98 to 2000 users (not sure about XP), in order for you to use any file type other than bitmaps (either .bmp or .dib), you have to have your Active Desktop enabled, which means web content, which means refreshing your desktop or changing a wallpaper looks ugly. BGSelect circumvents this by allowing you to have JPEG and GIF images (non animated ones) as your desktop without needing the Active Desktop enabled, making refreshes and wallpaper changes smooth looking.
Newest version now detects if your Active Desktop has Web Content enabled, and now the program's icon shows in the taskbar. (personal VICTORY!)
Also, a bug in BGConfig has been fixed so it doesn't clear your config every time, and if it can't find the image Windows claims as your wallpaper, it won't crash.
