Wallpaper Setting

One of the very best thing about Freedesktopwallpapersite.com is that it not only provide free desktop wallpaper but also give details about wallpaper setting. Following process show you how to set the wallpaper on the your desktop.

Windows (Windows 95, 98, 2000 & NT, Me, XP):

  • Place your mouse over the image.
  • Click on the right mouse button.
  • A menu window will pop up.
  • Scroll down and highlight the option "Set As Wallpaper" and then use the left mouse button to click on it.
  • The wallpaper is now installed on your desktop.

However, the next time you repeat this procedure with another wallpaper, this one will be replaced by your new choice since it is saved as generic "Internet Explorer" or "Netscape" wallpaper in your Windows directory.

To avoid that, the best way to save a wallpaper is to:

  • right-click on image,
  • choose "Save Picture As ...",
  • save in your C:\WINDOWS directory as, very important, "BITMAP FILE" (with .bmp extension, NOT .jpg extension). You may choose any name you like for your new wallpaper.

This way, you will save this file under whatever name you wish, i.e not Netscape or Internet Explorer wallpaper, and the name of the wallpaper will show up in the desktop properties under wallpapers. That means that you can select and set your wallpapers from the desktop menu and build a very nice collection of your own wallpapers.
