> Is it possible to set the Wallpaper using JPEG or GIF photo format ?

If windows has Active Desktop installed, it can display JPEG images, if not
you're stuck with just BMPs. GIFs aren't supported, probably due to the
legal problems...

Incidently, Windows can sometimes throw a wobbly when given a .JPEG as
compared to a .JPG file.
