Quick and Easy
Unlike changing the wallpaper in your house, changing the
wallpaper on your computer is a breeze! The wallpaper is the background you
look at on your desktop, and just like the stuff hanging on your real walls,
the virtual paper may need a change now and then!
No mess paper changing
Create custom wallpaper using a paint program, or use the wallpaper supplied
with your computer or some other source. The best thing about wallpapering on
your computer is the mess-free ease of hanging it! Redecorate at any
time.
When you're more advanced, you can use special programs
that will rotate your wallpaper for you every day. Sign up for the Newbie Club
e-magazine and start learning all these fun "secrets" today. I just
wish someone would invent a real world device that would change my office paper
every three months!
Here's how to change your wallpaper using the pre-supplied
designs residing on your computer right now:
Step 1. Right click on your desktop. From the resulting
menu click Properties.
Here's the Display Properties dialog box you'll see.
Clicking the various tabs lets you make changes to the appearance of your
display. The word 'display' is simply another word for your monitor or screen:
Step 2. Scroll through the Wallpaper list and click to
highlight a wallpaper. As soon as you do, you'll see a rendition of the
wallpaper on the mini-monitor pictured pictured here:
Note: You can browse for wallpaper that may be located in a
different folder by clicking the Browse button. Center the image or tile the
image by selecting Center or Tile from the drop down menu shown
below:
Step 3. Click OK to accept the changes you've made. Your
new desktop will appear with the image you have selected.
