Re: Web content/active desktop NOT

Lew,

Try approaching it from another direction.

[[To use a graphic from a Web site as your background
1. Open your Web browser and find a graphic on a Web site that you want to
use as your background.

2. Right-click the graphic, and then click Set as Background.

3. View your desktop to see the graphic displayed.

Note
• To open Display, click Start, click Control Panel, click Appearance and
Themes, and then click Display.

• To change the display options for the graphic, in the Display Properties
dialog box, click the Desktop tab, and in the Position list, click
Center, Tile, or Stretch.

• When you use a graphic from a Web site as background, it is saved in the
background list as Internet Explorer Background. Each new graphic you
define as a background replaces the old one. ]]
