(If you know how to do this or others on the list - skip down - if not, We have numbered the small individual steps in case you have not done this before - but don't worry - it is easy - and often obvious from the pop up or drop down windows you will see!) . "

Create a New folder on your Desktop (or in your "My Documents" folder) - name it "Virginia Vacation Beach Pictures" or your own name.

Note: The explaination to follow is using a new folder on your Desktop Vs in your "My Documents" folder.

- To create a new folder on your Desktop:

1. Right click on a blank area of your Desktop screen and select "New" from the pop up menu that appears.
   
   
2. Then select "Folder" from the drop down menu. A new folder will appear somewhere on your Desktop with "New Folder" highlighted in the Folder Name Box.
   
   
3. Type in "Virginia Vacation Beach Pictures" and Sezam -your New folder is ready to receive your downloaded Pictures!
   

To Download and save a picture from this page (or most web pages) to your new Desktop folder do the following:

1. Select a Picture you would like to download from the group below and right click on it.
   
   
2. Click "Save Picture as..." in the pop up box and then click the down arrow in the top drop down box. Select "Desktop" -- a list will appear with your newly created "Beach Vacation Pictures" on it.
   
   
3. Double Click on your new folder to open it and then click "Save" to save the picture into your new deskdtop folder. The picture will be downloaded into your new "Virginia Vacation Beach Pictures" folder.
   
   (Note:The file name on the pictures on this page is a fairly long "Mini-Picture- Descriiption" so you should not have to change the file name in the bottom box to be able to identify the picture.)
   
   (Note 2: Other pictures used on this site other than the ones on this page are very small dimensions and also small file sizes so they will load fast on the Web Page. They will appear very "grainey" and blurred if tried to make larger and used for Wallpaper. If you see other pictures on this web site that you would like to see as 6 x 8's here and be able to download, please let me know on our Your Top Picks" & Comments Page.
   
   

To select a picture from your new Desktop "Beach Vacation Pictures" folder to use as new Desktop "Wallpaper:"

1. Open the folder on your desktop and double click on the picture file name you just downloaded and the picture will open in "Windows Picture Viewer" for viewing - or printing.
   
   
2. If you want to use this picture as your new Desktop "Wallpaper" -- in newer versions of Windows such as XP and some others, simply right click on the picture you have opened for viewing and a pop up window should open
   
   
3. -- Select "Set as Desktop Background" and Windows changes your Desktop to the new picture you were viewing.
   
   (You may actually do this for most picture files you open with "Windows Picture and Fax Viewer" in Windows XP and some other recent Windows versions.)
   
   

To change Your Desktop Wallpaper Picture back:

1. If you wish to change Your desktop back to the one it was before - or another one in your Wallpaper folder -- right click on a blank area of your desktop and select "Properties" from the pop up window that appears.
   
   
2. After a few seconds, a pop up window will appear with some "tabs" across the top. Select the "Desktop" tab - after a few seconds, a window will appear with a scroll down menu with a list of pictures that came with your windows and ones you may have added.
   
   

• Select (single click on) a picture from the menu and you should see a "Preview" of it in the screen window. If it is what you want, click OK, if not select another until you find one you like.
  
  (Note: Unless you know what you are doing, I would not mess with the "Customize Desktop" button or the "Settings" tab.)
  
  Tip - If you have some pictures saved somewhere else on your computer -- say in the "My Pictures" folder in your "Documents" folder, you may select those for your Desktop Wallpaper by clicking on the "Brouse..." button and navigating to the picture and then selecting it. It will be previewed in the small computer screen window so you can see what you are selecting before clicking OK to change your Wallpaper.
  
  

• So that you can easily create your own screen savers from downloaded or other pictures, we suggest that you consider downloading and using the following free Screensaver program. The link below goes to a detailed description of the small free Screensaver program as listed on ZDNet's Download area. The screensaver has received favorable reviews on ZDNet and I have used it and found it works fine and is easy to set up and use.
  
  
• Tip You select which screensaver you want to use in Windows by using the "To Change your Wallpaper Back" instructions above and using the "Screensaver" tab Vs the "Desktop" one. The Set up options for Most Screensaver programs are available from the "Settings" button. Use the "Preview" button to check out your set up.
