Craig's Random Wallpaper Changer
Here's a free software program I wrote that changes your Windows wallpaper to a random image in a directory your specify.
All you need to do is copy RandomWall.exe to a folder containing .JPG, .PNG, or .BMP files and run it. Alternately, you can specify a directory of your choosing as a parameter. Create a shortcut to it in your Startup folder, and you've got a new background every time you start Windows.
Because there's no interface to the application, there's no screenshot, either.

Here's a quickie free software program I wrote that opens up to 64 different applications, URLs, and/or files in succession with a specified time delay in between. I wrote this because I wanted something similar to putting shortcuts in the Startup section of the Start Menu, but didn't necessarily want things starting up every time I booted Windows, just in case I had to debug a boot problem.
The program does require a little configuration of an .INI file, but it works well for my intended use, and hopefully you think the same. Comments in the configuration file explain what's going on, and you should find the configuration rather easy.
Because there's no interface to the application, there's no screenshot, either.
