Windows 7 Dream Scene Activator

Some of you might remember the “Dream Scene” feature that was available in versions of Windows Vista, where you would be able to set a video in WMV/MPG format as your desktop background. Well, sadly, this feature was eighty-six’ed in Windows 7. (Well, not really, because after a registry tweak, it becomes available again.)

However, Kishan Bagaria of The Windows Club has released a nifty little application that changes a registry value to re-enable this feature in Windows 7. Once you’ve applied this little patch, right click on any WMV/MPG and you will be able to “Set as desktop wallpaper …” from the context menu.

Don’t be confused by the title on the window of this application, it works for Windows 7 64 bit as well!

If you are looking for some neat looped videos to use as your wallpaper, or inspirational ones to make your own, look no further than DeviantART!
