If you have more than that, it becomes necessary to juggle files. This utility can run in the batch that initiates WINDOWS. Its only interaction with the user is a series of "grumbles" if an error condition occurs (in which case it does nothing!). The program assumes that you have more than one ZIP file containing six (or less) *.BMP wallpaper files. These ZIP files "must" be named: PAPER01.ZIP PAPER02.ZIP PAPER03.ZIP etc. (up to 49 allowed thus far) When the program runs "initially", there should NOT be any WBLASTER.ZIP file existing. It will rename PAPER01.ZIP to WBLASTER.ZIP and exit. The next (and succeeding) time the program runs, it will rename WBLASTER.ZIP back to its original PAPER??.ZIP name, and then grab the next PAPER??.ZIP file in sequence to rename as WBLASTER.ZIP. When the last PAPER??.ZIP file is used, the cycle will commence once again with PAPER01.ZIP. And that's all there is to it! Now you can have numerous wallpaper files (in ZIPPED format) on the disk and cycle thru them automatically each time you run Windows. The step-by-step procedure is outlined below: 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� 1. To make things easier, create a separate subdirectory off the \WINDOWS\ directory to contain the PAPER?? and WBLASTER zip files. Create your PAPER01.ZIP --> PAPER49.ZIP files using PKZIP in this subdirectory. Do not leave any missing files (ie, PAPER01, PAPER03, PAPER04...) or a program abort will occur. Remember, only up to six *.BMP files can be in any one PAPER??.ZIP file! 2. If the subdirectory that you created was: \WINDOWS\WALL\ ...this is the internal default for WBAUTO to locate the files. The command line to run the program would be: WBAUTO Otherwise, when running the program, include the path to your PAPER??.ZIP files on the command line as follows: WBAUTO c:\windows\bmp Place this in your batch (or Autoexec.bat) file and execute it before running Windows. It is easier if WBAUTO.EXE is in the Windows subdirectory, but it can be anywhere as long as your batch file can locate it via the PATH statement or command line path description. 3. Remember to edit the WIN.INI file as shown below to direct WallBlaster where to find your WBLASTER.ZIP file. [WallBlaster] ** ---> LibraryName=c:\windows\wall\wblaster.zip TimerInterval=20 Bkgd=1 Quiet=1 4. One final thought. In your batch file that runs Windows, if after you exit Windows you execute: DEL *.BMP ...the current wallpaper file will be deleted. This will save time the next time you run Windows in that time won't be wasted loading the last-used BMP file, displaying it, and then having WallBlaster remove it to load the next one. Of course, this will remove all *.BMP files from the subdirectory, so it's wise to keep these suckers in another subdirectory and away from \WINDOWS itself! 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� And that should do it.
