Hi, Everyone I was just wondering if someone could tell me how to get one of the XPC Wallpapers onto my desktop.
I can't just click and set as wallpaper .
So what's the trick......:confused:
Thank's Kev

you right-click on your Desktop.....> Properties>click on Desktop tab at the top of the window that popped up> then click the Browse button, and go to where ever you saved the file>click Open> click OK to set the wallpaper and that'll close the Display Properties window.

Thanks Roswell, But that's not what i'm talking about. How you get them off XPC and put them on a computer.

The screen savers are in your sys32 folder. Getting them out, I
don't know.
I think roadtech21224 is refering to "right click" being disabled, so you can't save the wallpaper image. I am assuming that this behaviour is either by default or a mistake.

Do you mean the XPC Wallpapers Here (http://www.xtremepccentral.com/gallery//showgallery.php/cat/503/password/), Roadtech?
Right clicking and saving works for me!

Yes Bob, How are you. If I click save or set as desktop it give's me the thumb size. If I enlarge it there I can't do anything.......:(
Is it a Firefox or I E thing.....?
I can go to other sites and right click set as wallpaper or desktop and it work's fine.

Strange i've gave it a shot in 3 browsers . It will let me save the thumb size. But if I click on image to view larger image it give's me the little pointer hand and I can't save it then???????
Im missing something here people......:confused:

Ah, I see what you're not doing. ;)
You need to right click the thumb and select "Set as Background" in IE, or "Set as wallpaper" in Firefox. To use this feature, I think you need to have Active Desktop enabled. That depends on what OS you are using, though. ;)

Also, dunno if this will be a no-no as far as da Boss is concerned, but you can get around the no-right-click to save the larger pic by copying (manually, no-right-click, remember? :P ) the url in the UBBcode box under the pic (without the img tags), then enter that url in a browser, and voila! you can copy the pic to your drive. :D
If that's a cheat not to be known please remove this post, Mike. :)
