Very cool instructable! I love VLC and had no idea you could do this. Just a small critique, your screen shots are kinda hard to see. You might want to check out ScreenHunter, which allows you to get screenshots of full screens, active windows, or you can just drag a rectangle of what you want a picture of.

Yeah, I noticed that my screenshots were kind of bad, thanks for the tip.

You can also use animated GIFs as wallpaper. Since my name is Dave, I created a HAL camera eye and put animated type that spelled out "I'm sorry Dave, I can't do that." An appropriate message for a machine running Windows...
