What version of windows do you have xp;right click on the picture you want to use as your wallpaper. tell it to save. close/ minimize applications then right click on desktop. Click properties, click the tab at the top that says desk top. now you should see a list if it does not show up in the list, choose browse and lick the piture or folder you wish to use. Lastly click okay. \n\nwin 98; copy picture same as above, only this time remember where it is. go into paint application. (click; start, accessories, paint) tell it to open the picture you just saved, then once it opens, clcik file at the top, then click SAVE AS. name it whatever you want, just be sure that the second box under where you type the new name says save as BMP. now once it's saved go to where you have saved the bmp file and right click then copy. now open up the C: and then open up the folder marked windows. all you have to do is paste the copied bmp file here and it will become available for you to use as a desktop wallpaper.

any picture can be used as a wallpaper. it depends on what your looking for, but just browse for the pictures you want.. once you find them right click on them and there will be the option "set as desktop background" and it makes it your wallpaper.. but if you change the image then you will lose it. to save it click on the picture and select save as.

I remember an application called microangelo that allowed you to create icons for desktop folders.  You could do the same with MS paint at maximum zoom but MicroAngelo has more features such as animation.\nThen you can set the icon in the shortcut properties.\n\nIf you want an easier way, just install a theme.
