bozodog Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Angie, you can use any image in your picture folder for your desktop. Right click on desktop>properties>desktop>browse....... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheTerrorist_75 Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 (edited) Steer clear of most third party XP themes sites especially themexp.org. They can install some very nasty malware. I usually use a combination of Paint and IrfanView to create my own wallpaper (desktop background). Using IrfanView you can even create a slideshow of different backgrounds for your desktop that will automatically change it at set intervals. Someone here may know of trustworthy sites that you could download themes from. I would make sure your computer is protected by using some suggested anti-malware programs.Recommended programs to protect you.AdAwareAdAware tutorialSpyBot S&DSpyBot tutorialSpywareBlasterSpywareBlaster tutorialIE-SpyadIE-Spyad tutorial Edited February 15, 2006 by TheTerrorist_75 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They need to pay their bills somehow. Using ads and spyware enables this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JSKY Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 (edited) Here is a site I like. You have to sign up and in to be able to download anything. But it's just like any other forums. Almost everything is user created. Plus they have a good forum. It was allot bigger until they remade the forums and everyone had to re-signup. But still a very good place.TSS2000Everything you need is listed under "Style Stats".Plus no hidden stuff to worry about. Edited February 15, 2006 by JSKY Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MrBill Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Object Dock is a good one. They have a FREE and a PAID Version. The only thing that I see is every 24 hours of on a reboot, they have a built in popup wanting you to but the program. Have had it for a couple of years on 2 different PC's and no problems what so ever. You can go back and download different stuff for FREE as they come out with it. It does just the basic stuff and you can go right back and get several different add on thinks. CLICK HERE Quote Link to post Share on other sites
