For those of you with bandwidth to spare, check out http://www.swrt.com and look in the Gallery.
Be warned, this is not for the faint of pipe.

That's an awesome active desktop, LoudMusic. Where did you find such a good (clean and simple), high resolution photo like that?
Nice of you to notice (: And that's not even the "high res high quality" version of the image. I down sampled it so I wouldn't have the BIG file in memory all the time.
http://www.gettyone.com is a photo service primarily for advertising agencies. They have super high quality images and probably billions of them. Anyway, after you subscribe you can request CD collections which contain the images - roughly 500 per disk in TIF format. I grabbed the CD titled "Agricultural" the other day and browsed through. This is one of the ones I liked more.
I'll edit this post when I've found somewhere to throw the Photoshop Web Gallery I created from this disk as well.

Space summed it up pretty well in his first post. Hit "PrtScn" on your keyboard, and then paste the screenshot into your favorite image editing program, save as a JPEG or GIF, and then upload it as an attachment to your post.

Might be slow. Let me know if it doesn't work at all.

Oh, and here is my ACTUAL desktop. I updated a bunch of the links too.

My desktop at work is 1280 x 1024 by the way ...
My absolute favorite part is the date / time at the top. After lots of searching, and a little code hacking, I've gotten almost the perfect script for it. I should probably throw it into its own .js file and allow CSS to set the font and stuff, but right now it works, and that's all that matters.

You could set up a simple html file that rotated the images for you. That'd be pretty sweet ....
There are also applications that will do that for you. I used a random image loader javascript for the old GTPlanet active desktops I had made a while back. But I do them that way because I like to put links and stuff on my desktop as well. That way I can turn off the ugly icons when I get everything setup in the html file.

Ah well, good point. Though I am running P3-600 at home and never had any problems with Active Desktop. If you run AD with icons disabled, it actually seems (to me) to be more effecient.
And with Windows XP you should be ahead of the game anyway. It does a much better job of handling IE functions since it is at the newest revision.
Anywho ... it's cool, you should at least give it a try (:

I'm thinking about making an active desktop...right now I'm making regular desktops. Like I said before, if you want a cool looking desktop- just tell me and I'll get right on it.
