Just about everyone knows about screen savers, but improvements in technology the last few years, means you can customize your desktop to fit your personality.
How to save a photo as your screen saver:
- Find the picture that you desire and save it under My Pictures.
- Find Screen Saver Properties and right click on it. You can do this by selecting Properties and then finding the Screen Saver properties tab.
- At that tab, select My Pictures from the menu.
- Click on Settings and make the picture your screen saver.
What’s really great about customizing your desktop with your own personalized screen saver is you can make it your own. Chances are, despite the fact you are working all day, you are going to see the picture on your screen saver about 20 times per day. Even during the drudgery of a long day, seeing your family at home or a great vacation photo can remind you of the really important things in life.
