click the link on the thread that takes you to the actual .jpg image.

save it to My Pictures on you computer by right clicking and choosing “Save As”

After you have saved it go to you desktop or Start Button and open Control Panel

In Control Panel select the icon for Display

After that opens you should get a dialog box that has display properties with tabs.

open the tab thet says Desktop.

In that tab you can change your background.

To find your picture and use it, you need to click the “Browse” button.

find the picture in My Pictures or wherever you saved it.

you may need to tell it “all image files” to see a .jpg

select it and hit okay and close your control panel.

now minimize all applications and see if it is set as your background

this is for Windows XP but other versions have a similar process.
