Would you like your computer to be a decorative element in your home rather than an eyesore? One way to accomplish this, while it’s turned on at least, is to change the background to one of your favorite photos or one that matches your décor nicely.


How to change your computer background:

Step 1: For Windows XP: Click Start and then choose “Control Panel”. Select “Appearance and Themes” and then “Change the Desktop Background”.

For older Windows: Click Start and then choose “Control Panel”. Choose “Display” and go to the “Desktop” tab.

Step 2: On the dropdown under “Background”, choose “None”.

Step 3: Click the “browse” button. Locate and select the photograph you want to use on your computer. This will automatically add it to the background drop-down list and select it.

Step 4: Click “Apply” to save and “OK” again to close.

Changing your computer picture background is just one way to share photographs.
