aznchun, Start>settings>control panel>display>desktop. There you'll find the list of backgrounds available to choose from and you can add a custom picture if you wish. Simply select the one you want. HTH. Ed in Texas.

1. Click Start - Run - type GPEDIT.MSC and press Enter 2. Expand to User Configuration - Administrative Templates - Control Panel - Display 3. On the right-side pane double-click the entry "Prevent Changing Wallpaper" 4. If the value is set to "Not Configured" or "Enable" then set it to "Disable"
For both Home & Professional edition ========================
1. Click Start - Run - type REGEDIT and press Enter 2. Expand to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\ Explorer\ActiveDesktop 3. On the right side pane - check if there is an entry "NoChangingWallpaper". Set its value to 0 by double-clicking or delete the entry.
