Display properties
Posted by Me2Ewe on November 26th, 2005


Can somebody tell me how come my Display properties under the Desktop
background there used to be about 10 or so preset designs. Somehow I have my
pictures in there to be able to put on my background. That is good I like
that option but how did I do it?

It happened before but then went back to normal a week later. Now its back &
I want to keep it.

Also how do I adjust the scrolling to one lone at a time I did set it before
but with new wireless mouse it has no setting for that.

Any ideas folks

Thanks for any & all help

Bruce

Click the browse button and look for pictures wherever you want.

Control Panel | Mouse. If the correct driver is installed you should have
whatever settings it can accomodate.

Hi Bruce

At a guess you have your pictures in the My Pictures folder, or a sub-
folder of it. That's one of the places Windows looks by default to find
images for wallpaper.

Have a look in Control Panel > Mouse. Did you get any software with your
new mouse, such as Microsoft Intellipoint or Logitech MouseWare? You may
need to install it to get the best out of your new beastie.
