It is the middle of August and vacation is on everyone’s mind.  If you are not already somewhere vacation-y, then here is the perfect desktop background image for those with wanderlust.

For wide screen monitors, get a larger image to strech across the screen.  Simply right click on the image and choose “set as desktop background.”

It is worth it to spend a bit of time customizing your PC. You don’t need to be tech savvy to make your user experience a pleasant, easy, and useful one. Here are a few basic desktop organizational/customizing/aesthetic tips to optimizing your work flow.

Desktop Background

Your PC comes equipped with images and colored textures for using as your desktop back-drop or background. What you select is a very personal choice depending on what inspires or works for you. I’ll leave that choice up to you, but here is how to do it:

right click anywhere on the desktop; select Properties(XP) or Personalize (Vista);  select the tab Desktop(XP) or Desktop Background (Vista); choose a background from the options, or “browse” through your own images; position the image;  select okay and close the window.
