Description
This is my current desktop with a moving waterfall wallpaper thanks to the Dreamscene patch for Vista which lets you view wmv as wallpapers...Dreamscene patch for Vista Home Premium and Business get it here [link]
Instructions:
for those of you newbies first dl Takecontrol from here [link] so you won't have to go trough all the steps of clicking a billion times simply to rename the files then
Download the patched DreamScene files as above and unpack to a folder.
Copy " DreamScene.dll to %WinDir%\System32\ " folder.
Copy "DreamScene.dll.mui to %WinDir%\System32\en-US\" folder.
In Windows Explorer, navigate to "%WinDir%\System32\ " folder.
Right click on themecpl.dll file and take ownership, then Rename the file to themecpl.dll.original.
Copy the patched version of themecpl.dll to "%WinDir%\System32\" folder.
Repeat on "themecpl.dll.mui " file located in "%WinDir%\System32\en-US\" folder.
After taking ownership, rename the file to "themecpl.dll.mui.original".
Copy the patched version of "themecpl.dll.mui" to "%WinDir%\System32\en-US\ " folder.
Create a new folder in "%windir%\Web" named "Windows DreamScene" (without quotes). This is the location to place all the videos you want to set as DreamScene wallpaper, and can be easily configured via Control Panel Personalization applet.
Lastly, import and merge DreamScene.reg to registry. (rightclick file and click on merge)
Reboot computer.

You need the Windows Home Button Changer. There's the link: www.door2windows.com/windows-7…
Be careful when installing, there is a lot of bullshit Ads programs... always click on Decline. Then, search for Winows *your OS* Start Orb. Hope it helped!
