HOW TO INSTALL these IMAGES as your DESKTOP BACKGROUND
1) Click on the Image you want.
Right Click over the big image after it's loaded and chose "Save Image as".
Save image in "My Documents" or in any other folder.
2) Open "My Computer" from your Desktop
Go to "Control Panel" and then to "Display"
3) Under "Background" click on "Browse". Open saved image.
4) Click on the Image file for example: "northernlights99.jpg"
Click "Open".
5) Click on "Apply" and VOILA! the Aurora Borealis are shimmering on your Desktop.
Click "Print" on your browser now and you'll have a copy of these instructions.
PLEASE NOTE:
* You can find out what your screen dimensions are by going to:
My Computer> Control Panel> Display> Settings
* If you are running Win95 you will probably have to "Restart" for the image
to become your background.
* I always keep the main toolbar on my desktop visible so I like
the black space above and below the image.
But you can also stretch the image to fill the whole screen
by choosing "Stretch" under "Display" before you click "Apply" and "OK"
