To change the desktop background

  1. Open Desktop Background by clicking the Start button I have an Acer windows - 4f6cbd09-148c-4dd8-b1f2-48f232a2fd33_818.jpg and clicking Control Panel. In the search box, type desktop background, and then click Change desktop background.

  2. Click the picture or color that you want to use for your desktop background.

    If the picture you want to use isn't in the list of desktop background pictures, click an item in the Picture location list to see other categories, or click Browse to search for the picture on your computer. When you find the picture that you want, double-click it. It will become your desktop background.
    Look for pictures in other locations on your computer

  3. Under Picture position, click the arrow and choose whether to crop the picture to fill the screen, fit the picture to the screen, stretch the picture to fit the screen, tile the picture, or center the picture on the screen, and then click Save changes.

If you choose to have a fitted or centered picture as your desktop background, you can also frame your picture with a color background. Under Picture position, click Fit or Center. Click Change background color, click a color, and then click .

To make any picture stored on your computer (or a picture you are currently viewing) your desktop background, right-click the picture, and then click Set as Desktop BackgrI have an Acer windows - 7abb27d7-2989-4144-81e3-0a51f703885d_50.jpgimages/7abb27d7-2989-4144-81e3-0a51f703885d_50.jpg" alt="7abb27d7-2989-4144-81e3-0a51f703885d_50.jpg" class="h_mi" />The Set as Desktop Background option

I cant change the wallpaper of my acer D260 how should i remedy this one?

You might have Windows 7 Starter, please be advised that Windows 7 Starter does not include Personalization feature for changing desktop background, window colors, or sound schemes.



However, there is a solution for the desktop wall paper for Windows 7 Starter. You have to deal with the Registry. Please read my notes below.

  • · Click start
  • · In the search box or run, type regedit, allow execution
  • · (Important, export the current registry setting) Right click on Computer and export the registry setting.
  • · Navigate to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\"
  • · On the right hand side pane, doubleclick on key named "Wallpaper"
  • · Change the path of the picture you want to use as your wallpaper (example path is "C:\temp\mywallpaper.jpg")
  • · Right-click on the "Desktop" folder in left pane click Permissions. Click "Advanced"
  • · Go to "Owner" tab, highlight your name in the box that says 'Change owner to' ( There are only two choices the other is Administrator )... once your user name is highlighted click "OK"
  • · Click on "Advanced" again then Uncheck the button that reads "Include inheritable permissions from the object's parent"... click "Remove" when prompted
  • · Click "Add". Type "Everyone" and click "OK". Check Allow "Read Control" and click "OK". Click "OK" again
  • · Highlight "Everyone" and check to Allow "Read" and click "OK"
  • · Restart Computer
