I don't think there is a way for a moving background for your desktop, but I could be wrong,
You can use animated .gif files for your background. |

Animated .gif's are images that move, boxcarracer's picture is a animated .gif.

Couldn't Active Desktop also theoretically handle an animated .png (better resolution than gif) or even some flash content, for example? It would use up a lot of resources, but should be possible, right?
(Oh yeah, btw, I've used (briefly) and seen animated Gifs as desktops, on win98) |

Active Desktop, from what I've heard, is merely a psuedo-webpage, so theoretically anything that you see on a website should also work.
I imagine that if your web browser is capable of reading the image files, you should also be able to see it on your desktop. |

I use winwal found at http://www.net-session.com/index.php?page=winwall. you basically choose a directory on your hdd and set the time intervals whwn you want to change it. I basically change every start up cuz I get bored with the same wallpaper easily!l

To get animated gif's to work, save it onto your harddrive open it with xp picture viewer then right click and click set as background image
