Setting up your new wallpaper is very easy thing to do. First of all, you need to save a wanted wallpaper to your hard disk. To do this, right-click on the enlarged version of your wallpaper, select "Save Picture As...", and then choose a folder on your computer where you want to save it. You may want to create a new folder and put all your wallpapers there (name it "Desktop Wallpapers", for example).

Close or minimize all active windows. Right-click on your current desktop wallpaper, and select "Properties".



After a new window shows up, click on the "Desktop" tab, and you'll see your current desktop wallpaper settings:


If your new wallpaper is not in the "Background" list, click on the "Browse..." button, find it, and then click on the "Apply" button. That's it -- you have a new desktop wallpaper!

Typically, a wallpaper image may be centered, stretched, or tiled. When an image is centered, it is placed in the middle of the desktop and is surrounded by a solid color. When an image is stretched, it is stretched to cover all of the desktop. Only certain images can be stretched or they look distorted. An image that is tiled is placed on the desktop much like tiles are placed in a shower or a tiled floor. Tiling is commonly used for patterns instead of photos because a pattern is one square image that repeats itself across and down the screen, effectively forming a single image.
