How to customize your

desktop background
Want your computer to feel a bit more like, well, your computer?
You might want to consider changing your wallpaper.

The wallpaper is the image that appears behind the icons on

your computer's desktop—that's why it's usually called a
desktop background. On most computers, you can change your
background by right-clicking the desktop and
selecting Personalize.

Then select Desktop Background. By default, you'll see the

images that were included with your computer.
If you're looking for something specific, might we
suggest Google Image Search? Its custom search tools allow you
to search for images by size, which is perfect when you're
looking for a large picture (we recommend an image that's at
least 1024 x 768). Anything smaller will look pixelated or
grainy when stretched across your desktop.
When you find an image you like, just select it and choose View
image.
Then click and drag the picture to your desktop.
You can now set the image as your desktop background. Right-
click the image and select Set as desktop background.
You can use this same technique to turn any of your personal
photos into a desktop background.
