Additional Notes

If a website offers you a range of desktop backgrounds in a variety of screen resolutions, you should choose the one that is closest to your own display resolution. You can find this out by selecting 'Settings' from the 'Display Properties' window (the window we accessed by right clicking on the desktop in the video).
