What's On Your Desktop?

[Bugbear]

I don't really know... Not sure it matters. I do have a link to X Marks the Scott as one of the things on the desktop, but that isn't what you're talking about...

But when I'm feeling particularly Scottish, I put up this one:

Mine is a photo of my African Grey perching on the back of a chair on the front patio of my favorite local pub.

I've the Windows Vista swirly thingy that came with this computer! My previous one had all manner of images which I sometimes changed over the years.

Unfortunately, I have now quite forgotten how to change things like that!

By the way, how do you fellows get pictures of your monitor screens? my keyboard has a button labelled "Print Scr", but when I use it nothing happens. Where am I going wrong?

Take care,
Ham.

If you right click your mouse on your screen a box comes up you can then scroll down to

Properties click on it

Another box will appear, navigate to the Desktop button there will be a button there that says Browse you can click on it to find the photo that you want displayed on the desktop.

If you need anymore help with it please let me know.

I think Hamish was asking how to take a screenshot of the desktop.

To capture your desktop screen, open a Word document or other word processing or graphic program window and then minimize it (after all, you want to see your desktop).

Press and hold the CTRL key and press the PrtScn key.

Bring your Word document or other program window back up.

Press and hold CTRL and type the letter v.

(By the way, if you want just a picture of a specific window, use ALT and PrtScn.)
