if you really want your wallpaper to move, several media players allow you to use a movie as a desktop (eg kmp or vlc), and winamp lets you display visualisations, such as the excellent milkdrop, as the desktop.
there are also ways to use screensavers as your desktop, but i don't have any links for you. google is your friend.
Hm for example VLC so i need to set it as auto start and set it in options right? avi file will do?
It will run by it self after each restart?
i've never played with it myself, alex - i think you may have to play about a bit to get it to autostart fullscreen.
try putting an avi shortcut (or mkv, etc) in your startup folder, making sure that avi's are associated with vlc.
VLC not working i even enabled wallpaper mode in options...
ok, i did say that i've never tried it myself.
hmm, kmp doesn't want to play in desktop mode either - they aren't ready for windows 7 yet it seems!
just tested winamp, and the milkdrop visualisation works in desktop mode - only trouble is that you have to feed it with sound to get any motion out of it...
i guess you'll have to learn to chill out and settle for 10 second slide-shows...

have you googled for using screensavers as a desktop?
I have a feeling that the 10 sec minimum is hard coded somewhere. I found the regkey responsible for it,
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Personalization\Desktop Slideshow\Interval
changed it to 1000 ms, logged off/rebooted and once back on the desktop it was still at 10 sec. There may be another registry entry involved, that or it will take hacking the dll/exe to get it lower.
I just modified and tested a sidebar gadget that can change the wallpaper every second, cant go any lower though.
