My Desktop Customized

If it is your desktop, why not make yourself at home. Start by taking a photo of a pet, friend, child, or your family. Save the photo to the C drive with a name you will remember. Right click on the desktop.

When the box opens select Properties. When the next box opens, select the Desktop tab.

Select a position for your photo. I have selected center. Then browse for your photo. You named it and saved it on the C drive. Select the photo. Click OK and your picture will appear on the desktop. Your desktop has been customized.

Maybe you need a couple of new desktop shortcuts. If you crunch a lot of numbers, maybe you need a calculator. Right click on the desktop like you did before.

This time select New. When the box expands, choose shortcut.

Type in calc in the box. Then select next. Then in the spot for name type calculator. Then click finish. A shortcut that looks like a calculator will appear on the desktop.

You can create a desktop shortcut for anything that you know the location to on a computer, a network, or the internet. Once you supply the location, give it a name and you are finished.
