Right click on mouse while you are on desktop. A pup up
menu will apear then select properties. After that a
window will apear on that window there are 5 menu items,
one of them is Desktop, select it and you will see
Background items select any of them or click browse
select one that you like. Once you select it then click
Apply and OK.
