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...

Nick

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

Yes, if you convert it to a Bitmap first......  Sorry, a little joke.  To my
knowledge the wallpaper on the desktop must be a bitmap file.

Actually this is only true in windows95 without the IE4 extensions.
Win98 can do it, provided you have active desktop running.

thats my 2 cents...
