    Default Desktop image updater

    Hi folks.

    Happy New Year!

    I am looking for a program that will update the Windows desktop background image (and maybe for the Mac...) via the internet. Every month or so (or whenever), a new image would be made available, and all the clients that are running this software would then get a new background image.

    Does anyone know if there is a program out there that does this? It's not rocket science, and I could write a little C# Service to do this (probably using RSS-like XML on the server), but if there's one out there that does it, then I'll use that... plus I don't want to get bogged down with writing all the silly bits round the edge, like an installer etc.

    Cheers!

    I love Webshots. It gives you daily photos that you can download if you want. My desktop is updated daily with photos I have downloaded.

    Thanks for the replies. Webshots was way too complicated for what I needed, so I went ahead and wrote a little C# app. It does the job, so I'm happy.
