Does XP stretch background images if only set to "center"?

My monitor is set to 1024 x 768. If I put a 1024 x 768 x 96ppi image on
the desktop with "center" not "stretched selected the image still
appears to get enlarged.

Please advise

Position:
[[Lists background display options. Center will display the image in the
center of your screen; Tile will repeat the image over your entire screen;
Stretch will stretch the image to cover your entire screen.]]

Well in my case the image is getting enlarged even although I have
selected center.

You might try creating an image slightly larger than the desktop to avoid
the stretching problem.
 
It stretches only if set to Stretch. Inherent in Stretch is Center,
given that it stretches (or compresses) so that the natural edges of
the graphic line up with edges of the desktop.
