1)Create a html file.
2)Use Display properties > Desktop tab to *change* the wallpaper to html file.
OR
Display Properties > Desktop tab > Customize button > Web tab to *add*
the html file.

Good Luck, Ayush.

Ayush thanks so much for the reply, so I guess it IS as easy as I
thought.

well I had an image in a corner of the desktop bkgnd, and a table
around it, very small picture and table.

Wrote it like usual, marked the correct boxes under web tab (because
the desktop=customize only takes graphic files (bmp gif jpg), and
suddenly had a scroll bar (not built in html) in the middle of my
desktop screen!

To select html files, in the Browse dialog change the [Files of Type] to HTML.

Try this:
Right click Desktop > Point to Arrange Icons by > Untick "Lock Web Items .."
Resize your html file on desktop.

If that doesn't work, try adding scroll=no in the body tag :

<body scroll=no ...>
....

Good Luck, Ayush.
 
thanks for your help, nothing worked, tried each thing three seperate
times, had a friend doublecheck my html, said it looked good.

still won't work.

Can you post a screenshot ? Where is the scrollbar, around your html page
on desktop ?


Good Luck, Ayush.
 
tried to post them, but apparently they didn't go thru.

Did find, however, that with xppro, they can only be BMP.....so had to do a winsnap (capture), then fiddle with it.

also had to uncheck lock web items under web tab.
Works like a charm now.

Your help was appreciated :)
Got me on the right track.

Use JPG for smaller file sizes.

No. Press PrintScreen. Open Paint. Past the screenshot. Click File,Save. In
Save As, select the format. Click OK
