Many people decide to stick with the default background for their desktop. While there is no problem doing that, changing the background to something more exciting is easy and fun! You can personalize your desktop for your favorite sports team, the next holiday, or even with your significant other's image.
To change your background, simply right-click on the desktop and select "Personalize". (In Vista, you will need to select "Desktop Background" after selecting Personalize.) You will then see a window with a few desktop options, but in the middle of the window will be a link: "Get more themes online".
This will take you to Microsoft's website, where you can download from a variety of desktop backgrounds. Many of them have a series of pictures that will alternate.
You can also add your own picture as a desktop background. At the bottom of the window, click "Desktop Backgrounds". In the new window, you will see a drop-down box after "Picture Location:". Select "Pictures Library" to see all the pictures available. (If a picture is not here, you may need to move it to your pictures folder.)
