Time to change your background?

Do you hate the background on your desktop? Have you ever wanted to change it but just did’tn not know how? Well it’s simple and here’s how to do it quickly and painlessly

Right-click on the desktop and from the drop down menu choose Personalize, followed by Desktop Background. Here you can select each of the thumbnail images to see it previewed on your desktop. Take a look through them to find one that you like. Once you’ve settled on the picture you want, click OK to set it as your background.  If none of them strike your fancy, why not try one of your own photographs or pieces of artwork? Click Browse and find the folder containing the picture that you want to use. Once you’ve found it, click Open. Select your chosen photograph to add it to the desktop. It’s that simple.
