Photo's in 'wallpaper' section.
Recently had my Toshiba laptop converted from XP to Windows 7.
When in XP mode & I obtained a photo good enough for my 'Wallpaper' section I occasionally found that the photo size was too small to fill the screen.
No dramas, there was a method where by right clicking on - something on the picture - I then had the option to 'fill' the screen with the picture. Sometimes they pixilated when doing this so that photo was no good for my requirements.
With W7 I no longer have that facility, so how do I now get the same result???

Re: Photo's in 'wallpaper' section.
Chuck, You should be able to open the picture then right click on it and select 'set as desktop background' and it will fill as much of the screen as it can in the same aspect ratio. Otherwise you can enlarge the picture by right clicking and select open with 'Microsoft Office Picture Manager' and you can manipulate the size there. When you save it, make sure you select 'save as' and change the file name so your original pic is not lost. If that doesn't help PM me and I can do a tutorial for you. After you get the hang of Windows 7 you will love it. It took me a while to get used to it.

Intelligent people put the apostrophes in the correct place and omit them when not required. (Macs not Mac's)
