Is there a program...

There's a Windows XP PowerToy that lets you change the wallpaper at timed intervals (from as low as 15 minutes to as high as 1 week). Is that what you mean?

Not the best solution, but here's HTML that will randomly generate an image. You could set this as an active desktop, and it'll randomly pick a background every time the page is loaded (which will happen when you reboot.)
Maybe someone will know how to get the scrollbars to not show up when you maximize it? I don't know if that's something you can do with active desktop.
I know there's some API call that will set your desktop image, as I used it with VB6 for a program to load a desktop image.
Unfortunately, I don't have VB6 on this machine. If you can't find anything else, I'll look around on my other PC and see if I can find the source for this and make you a program, but it'll take a few days.
Code:
<html>
<head>
<script language="Javascript">
<!--
function StringArray (n) {
this.length = n;
for (var i =1; i <= n; i++) {
this[i] = ' '
}
}
image = new StringArray(10)
image[0] = 'desktopimage1.jpg'
image[1] = 'desktopimage2.jpg'
image[2] = 'desktopimage3.jpg'
image[3] = 'desktopimage4.jpg'
image[4] = 'desktopimage5.jpg'
image[5] = 'desktopimage6.jpg'
image[6] = 'desktopimage7.jpg'
image[7] = 'desktopimage8.jpg'
image[8] = 'desktopimage9.jpg'
image[9] = 'desktopimage10.jpg'
function ranimage() {
var rand= Math.round(Math.random()*(image.length-1))
return(image[rand])
}
document.write("<img src='" +ranimage()+ "'>")
//-->
</script>
