Use photos as desktop wallpaper

You can make any photo or set of photos the background picture on your computer screen. You can easily switch the wallpaper image as often as you like. Use your control panel to return your display to a Windows desktop pattern.

Desktop wallpaper with four images tiled on the screen

  1. In the Photo Browser, select the photos you want to use.
  2. Choose Edit > Set As Desktop Wallpaper. If you selected more than one photo, the photos are tiled on the screen.
    Note: You can also make a Windows XP screen saver from one or more photos. Select the photos you want to use and export them to a new folder (give the new folder a name like “screen saver.”) Use the Windows XP Display control panel to create your screen saver using the photos in the new folder. For instructions on creating a screen saver in Windows XP, search for “screen saver” in Windows XP Help.
