I know you told me, Christian, but I cannot find the information: where do you change the wallpaper-switching time in (I think it is in)
UltraMon Wallpaper Auto Changer 2.vbs ?
I have tree monitors and folders with 6-8 wallpapers, and I want the wallpapers to change every 15 minutes.
Thanks,

To configure this, go to the folder C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Realtime Soft\UltraMon\<version>\Wallpapers, then open the file UMWPAutoChanger.cfg in a text editor.
You'll have a line for each monitor, for example
1,00:00:05,Sequential,
00:00:05 is the interval, setting this to 00:15:00 will change pictures on that monitor every 15 minutes.

Christian, I have only one place (not one for each of my three monitors), and that is here:
-----------------
' If an existing entry for monitor was not found, create a new defalut entry with folder path.
If Not LineUpdated Then
Lines = Lines & i & ",00:01:00,Sequential," & WPImagesFolder & vbNewLine
End If
Next
-----------------
Is this the place where I put
00:01:00 => 00:15:00 ?
Remember, I use
UltraMon Wallpaper Auto Changer 2.vbs
(number "2").

Oooop,s I missed the fact that you mentioned the file UMWPAutoChanger.cfg, not UltraMon Wallpaper Auto Changer 2.vbs. Sorry about that, Christian. I don't think I even have that file in its correct place (I do have it, but not where it should be). I don't even remember how it fits into all this. I made a Word file with all the information, so that I will not have to ask about this again in the future, so I will have to figure this one out and put it in the right place.

Okay, now I have managed to confuse myself entirely (again).
Should I use file
• ChangeWallpaperAuto2.vbs
OR
• UltraMon Wallpaper Auto Changer 2.vbs ?
And, when it runs, does it automatically create file
• UMWPAutoChanger.cfg ?

ChangeWallpaperAuto2 switches between wallpaper profiles you have created via UltraMon, whereas UltraMon Wallpaper Auto Changer 2 creates new wallpapers dynamically using images from specified folders.
UltraMon Wallpaper Auto Changer 2 creates the file UMWPAutoChanger.cfg automatically during first use, just run the script, then modify the .cfg file and log off/log in again to have the script use the new timing values.

Christinan, I downloaded a fresh file
UltraMon Wallpaper Auto Changer 2.vbs
and put a shortcut in Startup, and got this error message:
UltraMon Wallpaper Auto Changer Wallpaper file not found, Terminating [OK]
When I double-click on file
UltraMon Wallpaper Auto Changer 2.vbs
I get the same error message.
No sign of file UMWPAutoChanger.cfg .
What might be wrong?

The script requires a wallpaper profile named Default to be available, most likely that's missing. The script uses this for initial configuration.
Just create a new profile named Default, then select an image for each monitor from the folder you want to use for that monitor.

Yes, I called it something else than Default. I'll redo it.
