The new operating system is optically quite impressive with every series. But its interface can be tuned further – with tools from Redmond.
DreamScene is used for animating the desktop background. This program is one of the free tools offered by Microsoft  for the Ultimate version of Windows Vista
Setup: To install DreamScene, connect to the Internet, click on ‘Security’ in  Control Panel and then click on ‘Windowss Update’. IF you have activated the classic view of the Control Panel, just double- click on ‘Widows Update’. Then select ‘Search for  Updates’ and ‘Display Available Updates’. In the ‘ Windows DreamScene –preview’ option  and click on ‘Install’. The installation is possible from a normal  user account as well. However, you must have the administration password because  you will have to enter it to clear security queries. Windows will download DreamScene  and install it automatically Click on ‘Restart now’ to complete the installation. To select an animated background, right – click on the free space on the desktop and select ‘Personalize’. Then, click on ‘Desktop Background’ and open the drop down box near ‘Location’ and choose Windows Dream Scene Content’. Or click ;’Browse’  and then under the installation directory of Windows, select the directory of Windows, select the directory’\ web\WindowsDreamScene’. After the Setup of ‘DreamScene’, you will get an animated sample  background. Select it and finally click on ‘OK’. You can also install the ‘Contents packet for Windows DreamScene’. This extra contains more animated wallpapers. In addition, you can use every other  video file as a  screen saver; for example., a slide show from your last vacation that you have saved in MPG format. Your creativity sees no bounds. But be careful : hectic film sequences are annoying distracting.
