Google Wallpaper Changer [download] is just a 28 kb utility that sits in your Windows XP tray but can throw up some big surprises each time you restart the computer or minimize the open Windows.Google Wallpaper software takes a list of keywords or search phrases, it then downloads the related desktop backgrounds from Google Images and turns them in your XP wallpaper.
The wallpaper switcher lets you adjust the duration for which a wallpaper stays on your desktop and you can even block adult or porn images from entering your desktop by turning the Safe Search filter on. [but I doubt if that makes it 100% safe from downloading NSFW images]
PS: Like the Google Screensaver, Google wallpaper changer is created by some Google fan and they aren'nt from Googleplex.

Volkan, Good point. Fixed.
Didn't realize that the post may confuse people into thinking that it's an official google software.

This is a pretty cool suggestion. I also particularly like the Featured Pictures section on Wikipedia, since many of those stunning pictures can be used for desktop backgrounds.

I currently use paperquote. It is a small application which could be downloaded from its website www.paperquote.com. This program sits on the XP tray and downloads new wallpapers every day. The difference is that they also offer an inspirational quotation embossed on the image. You have the choice preview quotations from various free and paid channels before ultimately downloading your choice. I have enjoyed it for a long time now and so I thought of sharing the same.
