I inadvertently downloaded a pic as wallpaper which got rid of the previous wallpaper I had. How would I go about taking my .jpg pic in my pics folder on pc to put it back as wallpaper. I try right-clicking on it and it does not let me set back to background..grrr

Any ideas?

Make sure it's not an animated pic - some of those do not get set as background the normal way. A normal .gif or .jpg should give you the option to set as background if you right-click. What is the file type?

right click on your desktop, anywhere where there's not an icon already, click properties (it might take a minute to come up), then click the "desktop" tab on the top, then click "browse", and find the file you want to be there. basically, if your computer can show you the picture normally, you can have it as your desktop pic. but like was said earlier, try to make sure it's not an animated gif or anything, that could be trouble. easy as pie though!
