Keep your wallpaper up to date with Bing's image of the day, every day.

Download from Softpedia
Running the application will create a background process that changes your desktop background to Bing's image of the day, repeating every 24 hours.
It adds a key to the registry so that it is run on startup.
A tray icon is visible while the application is running (thanks @MichaelMK) which provides the ability to:
- View wallpaper source
- Force wallpaper update
- Save wallpaper as image
- Disable launch on startup
Disable startup launch through the tray icon and then delete the executable.
You may also disable startup launch by either of these ways:
- Going to your registry (
regedit
in Run) and deleting the keyBingWallpaper
under:HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
OR
- Going to
Task Manager -> Startup
and disablingBingWallpaper
.
This only works on Windows systems.
I've tested it on Windows 7 and Windows 10 as an admin user. If you face any problems please open an issue!
