2.  What if I want tosave several wallpaper choices on my computer to use later?

If you just want to save theimage to your hard drive, right-click and select "save image as". Be sure youknow what folder you are saving the image to. Be sure you are saving the full size image(not the thumbnail). Now when you want to use a wallpaper you have saved, just right clickon your desktop, choose "Properties" and then choose Desktop tab. You can thenuse the browse button to find the folder you saved your picture image in and find theimage you want to use.  Double-click the picture/image you want to use and it willset itself as your new wallpaper.

3.  How do I uninstall awallpaper if I don't want it on my system anymore?

This will depend on how you chose yourwallpaper. If you used #1 above (right mouse click on image and set as wallpaper or set asbackground), you really don't have to uninstall. Anytime you choose another wallpaper fromyour browser this way, the new one will always replace the old one, so you never have morethen one image on your harddrive taking up space. If you still want to completely remove,you can go to your C Drive, go to Application Data/Microsoft/Internet Explorer and lookfor a file called "Internet Explorer Wallpaper.bmp" and delete it. You can findthe directory "Application Data/Microsoft/Internet Explorer " in your Windowsdirectory on Win 95/98/Me. It will be under "Documents and Settings" in XP.

If you used choice #2 above to save/set yourwallpaper, simply go to the folder where you saved the image and delete any file you wantuninstalled.

If you chose a wallpaper from an image in oneof our screensavers, simply go to Windows directory and find a file called"Webshots.bmp" and delete it. Or you can do a search on your hard drive forWebshots.bmp and delete. Keep in mind that when you choose images as wallpaper from ourscreensavers, each new choice will replace the old so it is not really necessary to deleteor uninstall as you will never have more then one image on your harddrive taking up space.More on choosing images from our screensavers as wallpaper can be found by clicking here.

4.  I am using a Wonderscreenand wonder how to change to a regular wallpaper?

Just right click on yourdesktop, choose "Properties" and then choose Desktop tab. You can then use thebrowse button to find the folder you saved your picture image in, find the image you wantto use.  Double-click the picture/image you want to use and it will set itself asyour new wallpaper. Or you can choose a wallpaper from the list that shows in the Desktoptab window.

If you are using a Wonderscreen that takes upthe entire desktop, your right mouse click button may not work. Simply choose"Start" button, Control Panel, Display Properties, and choose Desktop Tab and doas explained above.    Note: If you are using Windows XP, click Start,Control Panel, Appearance and Themes, and choose "Change Desktop Background".

5.  How do I get thewallpaper I save to show up in list with other backgrounds?

Download the image (makesure you download the correct size for your monitor) and then open it in a photo editingprogram of your choice. You can use Paint, which comes with windows. Now choose"File, Save As" and save as BMP format.

Either save as BMP format and move the BMP image to your windows folder on your C Drive(C:/Windows) or save the BMP image directly in the windows folder on your C drive. Nowright click on your desktop and choose Properties, and you will find it listed with therest of your backgrounds when you go to change your wallpaper. Once you do this a coupleof times, you will see it gets quite easy!
