    Save the photo from the email so you know where to find it

    Start --> Settings --> Control Panel --> Display

    Select the 'Desktop Tab'

    Browse to the photo and apply!

    On this same subject, I am having a problem with the picture really getting distorted if I try to use it for desktop. I am using the stretch feature. is this wrong?
    My screen is 1280 x 960
    How would I save them? or what do I do?

    N56 I think it was probably a safe assumption lol

    gal, the stretch feature will cause distortion, you need either a higher resolution image or a program that can resize the image with out causing too much loss of qualitey.

    Or you could centre the image and set a matching background color but thats not so much a solution as a workaround.
