Since [[Windows 7]], modern [[Windows]] systemsystems can be configured to cycle through pictures from a folder at regular intervals. Windows does not natively support animated backgrounds, however, third-party software can be installed to have full support for placing animated images, video files, 2D or 3D scenes, and web pages as wallpapers. Similar functionality can be found in the [[Active Desktop]] feature of [[Internet Explorer]] versions [[Internet Explorer 4|4]] to [[Internet Explorer 6|6]], which is included in [[Windows 95|Windows 95 OSR 2.5]] through [[Windows XP]]. [[Windows Ultimate Extras]] (only offered in the [[Windows Vista editions|Ultimate]] editions of [[Windows Vista]]) also includes [[Windows DreamScene]], which allows videos of any supported format (including animated [[GIF]]s) as wallpapers.
