Technique
to
change
Photos
to
Wallpaper
Audrey, how do you add photos to your wallpaper file, and how do you rotate them????

I am about to describe may sound intimidating but really it is not.
  • click start
  • click settings
  • click control panel
  • click display
  • click browse
  • and enter the path to the folder where you have your photos stored
  • then just choose the one to be added to the display background list.

From there any time you want a change click on a photo again and backgrounds and choose the new one.

There are some photo programs that will also give the option of automatically adding a photo to that background list.

 

 
Real Audio Note: You must have "Real Audio" installed on you computer to play sound files.  (To download, click "here" ..wait .. then look in the upper-right hand corner of their web page for the "free" version of "realOne Player in small print (i.e. not the 14-day trial version) ... or ... you can download my version by clicking here.  The file is 5 megs so it might take several minutes to download but you can keep it and use it again and again.
