Does Your Wallpaper Fit?

One tip that has evaded us over the years is sharing the magic of making wallpaper fit your screen. Wallpaper personalizes your computer and makes your desktop yours.

If you use Windows 98 and above, you can add any photo you want to your desktop as wallpaper. But often the picture doesn't quite fit well on the screen leaving space around the picture. If you want to get rid of the space around your wallpaper, try this:

1. RIGHT Click on your desktop (not on an icon)
2. Click on Properties from the menu
3. Click on the Desktop or Background tab
4. In the position box, click and choose "Stretch"
5. Click on OK

One other quick tip to keep in mind is that you can make any image on the Internet your wallpaper. Here's how:

1. RIGHT click on the image
2. Click Save as Wallpaper (or background) depending on what program you are using

Remember, however, that if your picture is too small, stretching it will decrease its clarity.
