Make your desktop dance
Your Windows desktop can shake, shimmy or do the lambada, once you know how to use a video clip as your wallpaper.
You'll need an AVI file (ending in the .avi extension), as well as Microsoft's FrontPage (though you could try it with another HTML editor).
If you don't have an AVI file, you can always download one for free from shareware sites on the Internet. A large file with high resolution to cover your entire screen is preferable.
Once you've located a video file you want to use, open FrontPage to a new FrontPage Editor window. In FrontPage Editor, look for the command to insert video. In Frontpage 2000 you'll find it by opening the Insert menu, and clicking on Picture and Video. In FrontPage 97, look under Insert for Video. You might also find it under Insert and Active Elements.
Insert your selected AVI file. When it's placed, right-click on the image in FrontPage, select Image Properties or Picture Properties from the pop-up menu and, in the window that appears, select the Appearance tab. Put a check beside Specify Size and fill in the figures to make the image fill your screen (800 by 600 pixels for most 15-inch monitors).
If you want the video to play continually, click on the Video tab and, after Loop, put a check beside Forever. Click Okay to close the Properties window.
Save the file with an .html extension (for example, as desktop video.html) and close FrontPage.
On a blank part of your desktop, right-click and select Properties from the context menu. Go to the Background page and use the Browse button there to locate the HTML file you'd saved. When you find it, click Open and make it your wallpaper.
Click Okay to close the Display Properties window.
To activate your desktop video if it is not already running, right-click on the desktop and select Play. You may have to reboot the computer to make it take effect. Then the video should run automatically.
