Hi Spearo,
Save the file as a BMP file and copy it to your C:\WINDOWS directory. For best results save it in the appropriate screan size. eg. if you use 640 X 480 then convert it to that size so that it fits the whole screen.

Hey George...if you have Active Desktop enabled (View as Web Page) you can use JPGs without having to convert them to BMPs. Just browse to the image you want in Display Properties > Background.
