Create Your Own Desktop

Here's another oldie, but goodie for you. (Plus, I've gotten buy propecia generic a lot of requests for this one and it'll be a really good refresher course for some of you!)

Are you tired of the desktop picture you currently have? If you are, why don't you spice it up a little?! It's really not hard to do at all. Just read this tip through and you'll be a desktop changin' pro in no time. I bet you'll be changing your desktop image every week now!

The fastest and easiest way I've found to do this is to right click on your desktop and select Properties. From the resulting window, click on the Display tab.

You can go ahead and scroll through the list of images that the Windows XP people kindly provided and you can also preview them in the top window.

Feel free to change the Position mode from Stretch (one big picture) to Tile (many little pictures) to Center (one small picture in the center of your desktop with a hand picked color filling in the background).

Now, if you want to use a picture that you have saved on your computer, simply click the Browse button and an Open window will appear. It will default to your My Documents/My Pictures folder, but you can browse through other folders via the Look in: box at the top.

Once you've found the picture you want, click on it and then click the Open button. This will take you back to the Display Properties window and you should see a preview of your brand new desktop. When you have things looking just the way you want them, click Apply, OK and just like that, you'll have have an all new desktop to love and enjoy. It doesn't get any better than that!

Have fun creating the desktop of your dreams!
