#Hey, it works!
#Currently, this script and accesskey.py live together, and make a folder in the user's documents for the backgrounds. The two are not neccessarilly in the same place. 
#Somehow, when using cx_freeze to build an exe, I'm missing the ctype DLL. So I just copied it over manually. Wtf, but it works now.

#add a scheduler -- could use win32com
    
#add run in the background
#add catagories
#add verficiation/check to make sure unsplash is up
