Windows displays a background image on the desktop display if you want it to. Sometimes, the computer manufacturer, such as HP or Dell, will set their own desktop image. You can change it easily if you like.
Open the Display properties through Start: Control Panel. Then click on the Desktop tab. Select the desired image in the Background box, or specify a custom one.
You can also choose to have no picture at all. The ‘None’ option isn’t shown alphabetically, but rather as the first option. I usually specify ‘None’ because it just takes that much less memory to display a flat color than a whole picture, not to mention transparency effects take less power for the computer to complete.
