Can anyone recommend me a program that will let me pick some pictures then randomly change my back ground at timed intervals, The ones goggle brings up seem filled with spy ware, I was hoping someone here has one they use personally they could recommend.

Stardock sells a program called Deskskapes for Windows Vista Ultimate.

It's primarily for animated backgrounds, so I'm unsure on whether or not it works with still pictures. Either way it has the ability to change your desktop background based on time of day, weather, or some other different things. There is a free demo, but it sounds like it may be restricted to the 5 animated backgrounds it comes with. While it's advertised as a tool for Windows Vista Ultimate, the documentation says it works in all versions of Windows Vista.
Give it a shot?
don't think it will work on vista but won't some things that were made pre-vista run on vista? i seem to recall something about that.. but i use this on xp.
it will do jpg gif and png. you can set it to tile/stretch/center invidiual images, change images every minute/hour/day, have it change the image on windows startup, and even set a key-binding (mine is window key + x) to change. you can set the changing to go in order or random.
Now I use Wallpaper Changer. A few of the advanced options arent explained brilliantly, but it seems to do the job ok.
