Set Bing Background as your Desktop Wallpaper

July 13th, 2009 No comments

Everybody is Binging nowadays. People likes Bing a lot because of its performance and decision based search results but also we heard that people likes to visit the site daily for checking out the cool and fantastic background image which will appear on a daily basis.

We found Bing Downloader, a 10 kB tool from Bing Codeplex. This small utility grabs the Bing website background image of the day and will create a folder called  ”BingImages” where it stores the images date wise. You can in turn use the image as your Desktop Wallpaper.

As the tool is recently developed and updated it doesn’t have any advanced options. For getting the daily new images you have to run this tool daily so if you drop it in the Startup folder it should do good whenever you start the computer. Try it out…!!!

Also if you want to load the bing website without any images  you can try this link: Bing without background image. You can also try our inline Bing search from the Sidebar.
