How to enable animated wallpaper in Windows 7

As many of you probably remember in some versions of Windows Vista had such a spectacular feature called Dreamscene. It allows you to set as wallpaper videos in .wmv or .mpeg format.

In Windows 7, instead there was a slideshow of wallpapers. However, it did not disappear Dreamscene, and was just deactivated and hidden in the bowels of the system. To have the opportunity to use animated wallpaper for windows 7 You can use a tiny utility Windows 7 DreamScene Activator.

After downloading and unpacking the archive run the file as an administrator (right click - Run as administrator). Then you need to press a button Enable DreamScene.

Now, in the context menu of video files will be a new item Set as Desktop BackgroundBy which it can be set as desktop wallpaper.

It now remains only to visit the site http://www.dreamscene.org and choose a suitable clip for the desktop, and choose there definitely is from what - a few hundred selected scenes sorted by category. However, the network is sufficient and other places to download the appropriate video - google it.

In all this splendor there is only a small drawback - the signature on the operation icons and folders table become translucent and therefore plohochitaemymi. But it's easy to fix. We go in desktop properties (Personalization - Desktop Background - Solid colors) And select the white color. Everything - inscriptions were again prominent.

Anticipating cries of some ascetics, I would like in conclusion to note that, of course, Dreamscene not profit, but only consumes system resources. But on the other hand, if the CPU performance is constantly increasing every year, why it is not something to take? :) Especially when openly for a window to full screen video playback pauses and system resources are not spent.
