Learn2 Change Your Monitor's Wallpaper

Update your image

Changing your computer's wallpaper (its background image) does a lot more than show off your technical savvy. It enhances your surroundings by displaying a favorite image every time you turn on your monitor. So why not put something that makes you smile on display for everyone to see? And here's a secret: It only requires a miniscule amount of know-how. In a few quick clicks, you'll be able to express yourself in a new and fun way.

Before You Begin

This 2torial is for both Windows and Macintosh platforms, but importing your own image (rather than one the computer comes installed with) will only work for Windows machines, or for Macintosh machines using system 8.0 or greater.

The process of changing a background image is similar (and just as simple) for both Windows and Macintosh. You're only limited by the image you decide to use. Just remember, don't pick anything too crude if you're in an office setting, OK?
