I've been browsing thru the search and the commands help on the main site and I've been wondering. What commands would I need to look at to display a random picture on the desktop every 5 minutes from a directory?

Hu?  I guess to identify the Random command will be the toughest challenge! |

DllCall:

DllCall("SystemParametersInfo", UInt, 0x14, UInt, 0, Str, A_WinDir . "\winnt.bmp", UInt, 2) |
... and Sleep or SetTimer

I'm not changing wallpaper though. I was just wondering if there was a way to display a picture on the desktop..kinda like how some widgets do. Though I don't think AHK has any built in way to draw a box to display the picture in?

You have to be more precise on the concept of "display a picture on the desktop". In a window? As part of the wallpaper (Active Desktop?)?
If you just want a little window, you have to create a GUI.
Basically something like:
Gui Add, Picture, x20 y20, %imagePath%
Gui Show
I let you assign randomly imagePath, using the algorithm of the last link...
