hello everyone, whenever i right click on a photo in my pictures to set as
desktop background, sometimes the photo appears as multiple images (like
thumbnails), sometimes appears as 2 pictures & sometimes appears as just the
one picture. how can i make it so that just one picture appears & so that it
isn't distorted ? i.e. sometimes when just one picture appears it is
s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d- to fill the screen. i just want to have one "normal"
picture. please help !!! thank you

==================================
Try these steps...

Right click a blank space on your desktop
and choose...Properties / Desktop tab...

Open the 'Position' drop window and choose...
Center, Tile or Stretch...Apply / OK.

BTW...if an image is not large enough to fill
the screen...there may be a border around it.
IOW...if your desktop is set to 1024 x 768 and
you choose an image for the background that
is only 600 x 800...it will not fill the screen.
