The one I use is the Power Toy Wallpaper Changer, but it is a
GUI-based app, not command or "BAT-file" like at all. It is a
very nice app, though, that allows not only any/all graphics
files in a given folder to be cycled from as little as 15 minutes
to once a week, and allows a 365-day "holiday" and special
occasion folder to override what's in the default changing
folder.
