Cool XP Desktop Bacground

Just got my new Dell 4600 and chose a background for my desktop. It offers several street scenes of New York City, one of which is a telephoto lens compressed view of a street scene on 25th street, featuring a pay phone kiosk.

The ad in the kiosk is for a red RX-8! Neat!

Hmmm. Matches my freakin car.

I'm not sure how to copy a desktop image to the forum. It's built into the XP desktop options. Ifg you give me a clue, I'll paste it.

take a screen shot of your desktop, while viewing your desktop just hit the print screen key. that will copy an image of your entire desktop to your clipboard. then go into paint or whatever you use and paste it in there. save and upload somewhere

This is a bad idea. If he takes a screen shot of his desktop, we will also see all of his icons...not what I wanna see if i want to use the background myself.

MP3Guy, do this: Right click on your desktop, click properties, go to the desktop tab, select browse and it will tell you exactly where on your hard drive the picture is located. Upload the image from that folder and link it to the forum or attach it directly to your post.
