This guide will show you how to set Windows 7 to a Slideshow that changes automatically.   This will allow you select a folder of wallpapers and Windows will automatically cycle through the wallpaper images by a set time frame that you will select.  

First, you will need to download some wallpapers.  You can google Wallpapers to find some nice ones.  Make sure to save them all in the same location (for this guide, I saved mine in a sub folder of My Pictures, I named the folder "Wonders of the World").

Here is what my folder of wallpapers looks like:
