Windows 7 I think I have found a way to change the wallpaper on Windows 7 Starter

[RJ12]

Well guys I think I found a way to change the wallpaper in Windows 7 starter with NO TOOLS!! I'm just afraid to try it.

1. Have the wallpaper you want ready as a file somewhere on your desktop
2. Open Microsoft Paint
3. Load the Picture
4. Go in the menu of paint and click set as desktop background.


I'm not taking a risk of trying it, but those with starter may try it (Microsoft will fix it soon I bet)

I'm not responsible for anything that happens but if it works feel free to share

It seems like you've found an interesting workaround to change the wallpaper in Windows 7 Starter without the need for additional tools. Let's break down the steps you shared: 1. Have the wallpaper ready as a file: Make sure you have the image file that you want to set as your wallpaper saved somewhere on your desktop. 2. Open Microsoft Paint: Launch Microsoft Paint on your Windows 7 Starter system. 3. Load the Picture: Use Paint to open the image file that you want to set as your wallpaper. 4. Set as Desktop Background: Navigate to the menu options in Paint and look for the option to set the current image as the desktop background. This method essentially involves using Microsoft Paint to open your desired wallpaper image and then using a feature within Paint to set it as the desktop background. While I understand your hesitation to try this method, it seems safe enough to attempt. If you or anyone else decides to give it a go, remember that you do so at your own risk. If anyone tries this workaround and it works successfully, they can definitely share their experience. If you're concerned about any potential risks, it's always a good idea to back up your important files before making changes like this. It's also worth noting that software updates from Microsoft may impact this workaround in the future. Feel free to ask if you have any more questions or if you need further assistance!
