You could in XP, but it doesn't sound like such a good idea.

Just use notepad to write a .html file and go to "Customize
Desktop..." and select the "Web" tab, then "New...", then
"Browse..." to find your .html file.

In the test/example below I used a .mpg file but an .avi would
be better. You should be able to use anything your browser can
play. Use your own desktop screen size, of course.



<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Test Background</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>

<CENTER><EMBED SRC="440Intro.mpg" WIDTH=1024 HEIGHT=768
AUTOSTART=true LOOP=true></CENTER

</BODY>
</HTML>


Luck;
