Default Snow for windows desktop
Someone was looking for a program that would put snow on their desktop .
This one is FREEWARE and programmable . Snow is wind driven and piles up on
the bottom of your desktop . You can adjust everything .

How about that one (the only one for Windows, that Google would tell
about)? It seems to be free...

Thanks Michael,

I have an older version - the snow's rather granular. Will try the newer
one - hoping for real flakes.

Another trick could be to use HTML / Javascript. There are many snowfall
scripts out there. Design a webpage that incorporates the script then set
the page as your desktop.

I haven't tried this trick myself but I can't think of a reason it shouldn't
work.

There are also some programs that will run screensavers on your desktop.
Find a snowfall screensaver and away you go!

I've done that now. . . It is a nice screensaver, lots of options, but
the snow looks more like snowballs than snowflakes - round and white, no
pattern.

IMHO it's good but not GREAT. . . worth a look, YMMV

A W98 snow screesaver that has no spyware and no ActiveX and no flash is
hard to find, except snow.exe, with is a sort-of snow effect on the desktop.
