Right click your desktop and select Properties. On the screen that appears,
click the tab labeled "Settings." The slider in the lower left is your
desktop size. Make a note of whatever it is. Example: 1024x768

When you create an image for this desktop, create it as 1024x768. If you
are downloading from a website, take a second look at the available links.
Sometimes there are multiple links - each leading to a different sized
image. Click the link for the one that is scaled to match your desktop
size.
