		the cursor is moved over the form controls.
	-	Graphic Viewer
	-	Specify interval between logo / wallpaper changes
	-	Global or specific options for each logo type and wallpaper
	-   Drag and Drop files from explorer

INSTALLATION
------------
Requires Windows 95 or better.  May run on Windows NT, but has never been tried.

Copy the uncompressed files into any directory.  Place a shortcut to LChanger.exe into the 'StartUp' submenu.  Run the Logochanger program.

FILES

DChanger.EXE 		-	Module which changes the logos and wallpaper
Desktopchange.EXE	-	Main program

OPTIONS
-------

ROTATION

Sequential:
The logos and wallpaper will be chosen in order as they appear in the their associated tab page.

Random:
The logos and wallpaper are chosen randomly.  The same file is never chosen twice in succession.

CHANGE EVERY

Specifies the interval in days between each change.  A setting of 0 will make the change on every start up.

If one or more day is chosen, the changes will take affect on the second time Windows is started.

ACTIVE
Enables and disables logo and wallpaper changes for the selected tab page.

GLOBAL OPTIONS
When checked, the options apply to all tab pages.

BUTTON FUNCTIONS

Down/Up arrows:
This allows files be moved up and down the file list.  This is useful when the Sequential order option is chosen to customise the order.

Use Selected Image:
The selected file will be used the next time the logo is used (i.e., on start up, wait or shutdown).  Wallpapers are only changed when Windows is next restarted.

Validate:
Checks whether the files in the current tab page exists.  This will display a File Validation dialog.

Choose the file references you wish to keep, and click the Keep button.

When the Delete button is clicked, all file references listed will be removed.

*This does not delete any files, just the references*

Change:
This is the same as running the DChanger program.

POP UP MENUS

Pressing the right mouse button within the 4 tab pages or file box will show a drop down menu.  The options listed are self explanatory.

Goto Directory:
The directory will change to the path of the selected file.

DRAG AND DROP

Files can be dragged and dropped from explorer to the tabbed page file listbox.  The system will filter out any files which do not have .BMP or .SYS extentions.  However, like selecting files from the file list, the system will not check whether the files are valid graphic images.
