Dave's Favorites: Webshots Desktop

Don't you just love it when you find a program that solves problems you didn't even realize you had? The Webshots Desktop is one such application.

This 1.5MB download would be worth getting even if it cost a few dollars, especially if you're starting to get bored with the bland blue Windows desktop and would prefer to watch digital images on your PC screen.

The Webshots Desktop doesn't let your desktop get stale; it changes your wallpaper daily, hourly, or as often as you deem appropriate. You can tell Webshots where to find all of your own digital images, or use the program's Internet conduit to download other folks' pictures from a huge online library.

That's neat, but it also has an optional screensaver mode--you can direct Webshots to show all those same digital images as an automated slideshow whenever your PC has been inactive for a little while.

Webshots doesn't cure cancer or balance your checkbook, but it's a great little program that keeps your PC fresh and interesting with your favorite images.
