Embed photos on your desktop wallpaper
Sometimes having just one single desktop image is not enough. This is the right moment to use My Better Desktop.
My Better Desktop, previously known ad Desktop Takeover, enables you to display several photos on your desktop, embedding them right onto your current wallpaper. Simply select the images from any folder on your PC and drag and drop them on the program's interface.
You can then arrange and resize them as you like, though I must say the resizing tool is a bit uncomfortable to use (grabbing the image's corners feel much more natural than clicking a tiny zoom button). The final result obviously looks better when displayed over a neutral image, rather than a highly detailed wallpaper.
The images used in My Better Desktop can be either static or turned into photo slideshows, which means they rotate according to a user-defined period of time. It's a nice way to show off your best shots, don't you think? Also, whenever you grow tired of your multiple-photo desktop background, you can go back to the regular wallpaper from the program itself. Strangely enough, the wallpaper appears then as tiled.
If you ever wanted to be able to use more than one wallpaper on your desktop, you should definitely give My Better Desktop a try.

This product will cause you problems.
I downloaded this program in Dec. 2008, and as of Feb. 25th. 2009, the developer decided that the program was not to be free any longer, and somehow, managed to expire the program. Not only did they do that, they only gave you an option to download a new version, a pay for version, no longer free. In addition to that, they embeded in my registry something which took over my home page when I start my browser. Instead of going to Yahoo as my start page, they sent me to their home page to download their new version. I loved their free version, it was a very nice program which worked well. However, the developer has no intention to make it free, and has no moral scruples because they not only force this FREE program to expire, then they force your web page to be hijacked. People like this developer should not be allowed to feature their pgrogram in a web site which feature FREEware being generously offered by other developers. This practice of give and take back is giving ethical developers a bad name. I highly suggest you do not download this if you don't want your browser hijacked!
Pros:
Great product
Cons:
Freeware is not free at all, its a scam to get you to buy by expiring the program and rerouting your browser to their site even after you've deleted the program and decided you don't want it. More
