Unfortunately, this didn't help. In order for the image to change, I 
have to right-click on the desktop and select "Change Desktop Background."

When I do that, of course, the thumbnail images appear. Once it loads 
the updated image (under the same filename as its predecessor) as a 
thumbnail, only then does the background update. My goal is to find a 
way to fully automate the process.

Thanks for the help...any other ideas?
