First you need to create a desktop.ini file in your flash drive.


Open Notepad and click Save as.

Then set file name to desktop.ini and change Save as type to All files.

Click Save as.

Place your wallpaper in the flash drive. It should be a ".jpg" file

Open desktop.ini file from your flash drive. Copy and paste below code to it.

Last line of the code, you can see "IconArea_Image=wallpaper.jpg". Replace "wallpaper.jpg" with your wallpaper name.

How do I change the wallpaper on my LG Android?

To change the wallpaper on your Android phone, follow the steps below:
1.Tap and hold on the "Home screen" to open the "Add to Home" menu.
2.Select "Wallpapers" and choose the type of wallpaper you want to implement. Three options may be available: Gallery, Live wallpapers, and Wallpapers.
Note: Live Wallpaper may not be an option on some phones. This is due to the limitations of the hardware of the smart phone itself.

Gallery allows you to set one of your own pictures as wallpaper. Tap "Gallery" and select your preferred picture. You can crop the part of the picture you want to use as wallpaper. Then, tap "Save" to set the picture as your background.

Live Wallpapers provides you with a set of animated backgrounds. Tap "Live Wallpapers" and select the live wallpaper you wish to use. Next, tap "Set wallpaper" to set the live wallpaper as your background.

Wallpapers are a collection of pre-installed wallpapers. Tap "Wallpapers" and select the one you prefer. Next, tap "Set wallpaper" to set the picture as your background.

How do i change the desktop background on my hp mini 110-116nr laptop?

You cannot change the wallpaper in starter edition. The feature is not included, it has been designed for entry level pc's only. Like everyone else is saying the tab is not there and when you right click on the image and click add as background it does not work. The most current and simplest ways is to select and right-click on the picture you wish to set as the background image. You can leave protected operating system files hidden to not have the desktop.ini files displayed, but leave system files unhidden to see the rest of them. First navigate to: %SystemRoot%\Web\Wallpaper. That's pretty much it, place your wallpapers there, create new folders etc, and they will show in the Windows Desktop Backgrounds menu in wallpaper selection
