On-demand picture/wallpaper change

Does anyone know if a utility like this exists (because I'm looking for one!!)... A picture viewer app that you're able to assign pictures to keyboard keys for quick reference? For example, I want to bring up a picture/map of the PD running areas, press F1. to bring up a picture of the FD running areas, F2. EMS, press F3, etc.
Even a macro app will do, I guess, for Windows. Something like AppleScript or Automator for Mac... it's built into the OS!!

Linux will do that as well... with Compiz Fusion. I believe the nVidia chipsets with their own utility will allow you to set multiple desktop images and then switch between them as well. Not sure about the capabilities of the ATI cards, or any of the discreet graphics chipsets either.

Interesting.. thanks, at least even a non-compatible OS app will set me in the right direction. I'm using a Toughbook CF-29, so I guess it's an Intel 915GM chip.

On second thought... Try looking at either StyleXP and/or WindowBlinds. With either of those programs you could even do more than change your desktops. Completely forgot about those programs.
