Changing the Desktop Wallpaper

Question:  My daughter sent me a picture of my grandchildren.  I would like to put this picture on my desktop like I’ve seen other people do on their computers.  Would you tell me how to do this?  Thank you very much.

Answer:
Following are the instructions to change what is known as the wallpaper or background of your desktop.  Depending on your version of Windows, you may see some small differences between these instructions and your dialog boxes. 

Right click on a blank area on your desktop.  You will see a menu similar to the one shown below.

Click the Browse button.  Maneuver to the folder where you have saved the picture you want to use on the desktop (the My Documents folder).  Click on the filename of the picture; click the Open button.

Choose the Position of the picture – center, stretch or tile.  Take a look at the preview; choose the position that looks best.

Click the OK button, and you should now see your picture on the desktop.
 

If you would like to print these instructions, click File on the menu, then click Print.
