And have it update 'live' constantly?

I want to use a picture from a CCTV camera on a website.... can I somehow link this so it works as my desktop image? (and refreshes itself too?)
 
It's an interesting idea but it would be very hard to do. I would imagine that you could find software somewhere that does it.
 
OOOOOOK, Holiday is here to save the day!!!!!!

You might not be aware of this but you can use an html document as your background! all you have to do is create an html doc that displays the video, if you don't know much about web design or html just give me the site and the information I need to know and I will create the html file for you :)

Simple, just how you would with a pic, (instead of browsing and selecting a pic (jpg, gif, bmp etc...) , select an html doc (html, htm).

NOTE: you can not select a remote file, it has to be a local file, [C:/background/index.html]=YES http://dpmain.com/index.html]=NO

though if you want a remote web page as your background, you can insert a java redirection script.

here is a redirection script:
Code:
<html>

<head>
<title>Redirection</title>
<noscript>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2; URL=http://bennykiel.com/">
</noscript>
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
var sTargetURL = "http://bennykiel.com/";

function doRedirect()
{
    setTimeout( "window.location.href = sTargetURL", 2*1000 );
}

//-->
</script>

<script language="JavaScript1.1">
<!--
function doRedirect()
{
    window.location.replace( sTargetURL );
}

doRedirect();

//-->
</script>

</head>

<body onload="doRedirect()">

<p>Loading <a href="redirectiontarget.htm">redirection target</a></p>
<p>In approx. 2 seconds the redirection target page should load.<br>
If it doesn't please select the link above.</p>

</body>

</html>
