    Is It Possible To Change Desktop Slideshow Folder With A Keybind?


    I am currently on Windows 10, and I have two folders with different types of pictures in them (One is for when I'm working, Professional looking photos, the other folder includes family photos). I currently have to go to the Desktop Background settings to change between the two folders, but I was wondering if it was possible to switch between the two with either a Keybind, or maybe even a .vbs file. If you know if it is or isn't possible to do, it would be very helpful if you were to let me know.

    Thank you.

    A solution that most immediately comes to mind- although it may not be one you like- is to use a 3rd party wallpaper changer with a command line option.

    One such is

    As you can see you can start it using a simple script- that could specify your playlist or source folder.
    Thus you could assign a shortcut and a hotkey to launch the appropriate script.

    Yes, with BioniX you can save two (or more) playlists. Put a link to those playlists on your desktop. Double click a playlist to have it loaded in BioniX.
    You can also do lots of other customizations by loading different settings/INI files:
