Default How to watch a movie through your desktop with VLC
1.

Download and install VLC Player if you dont have it yet.

2

Open a movie file with VLC Media Player.

3

Right click anyware on the playing movie and select "Set as Wallpaper" (or something like that . Dont know exactly what its calld in English since I have the Swedish version)

4

Now minimize VLC and see your movie begin played on the desktop as a wallpaper.
But keep in mind if you close VLC Player, you will get back your previous wallpaper.



Why do this?

Because its C000L!
