Apod Wallpaper is a Windows program that will set your desktop wallpaper to the Astronomy Picture of the Day, every day.

If it doesn't work:

1) Make sure the APOD is not a video. If it is a video, the program will ignore it, because you can't set your wallpaper to a video.

2) Make sure you have a working internet connection. The program cannot download the APOD if it cannot connect to apod.nasa.gov.

3) Wait a few minutes. The program does not run immediately after you boot your computer. It takes a few minutes.

4) Open Windows Task Scheduler. If you chose to install the program just for you and not for everyone, then there is a chance that the task could not be registered in Task Scheduler, so see if there is a task named ApodWallpaper. If there is not, close Task Scheduler, uninstall ApodWallpaper, reinstall it for everyone, then reopen Task Scheduler. Right click on the ApodWallpaper task, click Properties, then click "Change User or Group". Type in your username, then click "Check Names". Your username should be underlined, and your computer name should appear before it. Click Ok, then click Ok on the next window, and close Task Scheduler. The program should now only run under your account.

5) Email the developer. Send a message to rst97@hotmail.com, and I will try to troubleshoot the issue with you.
