Does anyone have experience with such a program?

I have heard of some such programs, but have not yet tried any.
I'd like to try a trusted and reliable program that has features that can change my desktop wallpapers at given intervals, along with options to choose and tweak.

So, does anyone have a recommendation or thoughts on the subject?

I believe WebShots can accomplish that, however the last time I tried it was several years ago when Win98 was just out. I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to write a small app to do that in XP. Perhaps even thru a batch file?

It will download wallpapers from Flickr using predefined search criteria and does have intervals. It requires you to install the .NET framework (boo).

I use ChaosWallpaper v2.1.003. Does what I want, and for the right price: Free. Absolutely free.
