    This is the one! Free, no bull and the randomizer actually allows you to say to yourself: "Oh, I haven't seen this one since I added it to my gallery! I knew I had it in my gallery!" It uses a way better randomizer unlike many others (including Window's built-in bs) that just repeat the images depending on the cheap time of day randomizing algo. This is a must have tool.
