    Because this issue has been already unsuccessfully brought up at this forum, I decided to look into the question.

    I have looked inside %SystemRoot%\system32\stobject.dll
    This is a file, which executes and manages Desktop Slideshow.

    And there are the following classes regarding Slideshow:
    Slideshow_IsRunning, Slideshow_Refresh, Slideshow_Tick_Timer

    When you click "Next desktop background" windows uses class "Slideshow_Refresh" and changes the wallpaper.
    And I see no class or function, which could potentially show previous background.

    Possible solution would be to use other, non-microsoft software for this purposes, it if is available.
