Making any screen image into wallpaper on a PC using Windows

It's simple!

1. Just get the image on the screen in its original application - say Mosaic or Netscape.

2. 'Maximize' the window to make it as large as you want it -- if possible.

3. Press the Print Screen key. This 'copies' the image to the Windows clipboard.

4. Go to Paintbrush and open a new document with the correct image size and colour attributes.

5. 'Paste' the image from the clipboard. You may have to make a few tries to get things the way you like.

6. Play with the image until you get it the way you want it. You'll have to 'select', 'cut' and 'paste' the portion of the original screen that you want to keep into a new document, because the button bars etc. from the original application will be in the image you first 'paste' from the clipboard.

7. 'Save' the image to a new bitmap file in the Windows directory.

8. Go to the Windows Control Panel and open the desktop icon.

9. Scroll the wallpaper files until you see your new file.

10. Click OK to close the box and then close Control Panel.
