Access Denied messages

Whenever I want to make a photo my desktop wallpaper, I always get Access Denied messages. I try to save the file, Photo Editor opens the file, then I copy it to Paint, and I click file and click Set As Wallpaper...it worked, but only twice. Actually, once, when I right-clicked the photo, it worked...but only once!

If this is an image you are viewing on a website, right click in Internet Explorer or Netscape will give you the option to set as wallpaper.
What this does is saves a copy of the image file to C:\Windows directory as "Internet Explorer Wallpaper.bmp" or "Netscape Wallpaper.bmp"
These will appear as options when you right click on the desktop and selecte "properties" and background.
Whenever you see a picture you want to change to be your wallpaper, Rightclick and "set as wallpaper" and Windows will over-write these files with the latest selected image.

also windows will only use bmps and jpgs if you have win98se and ME all other windows will use BMPS only,so if your trying to us JPGS in a older window this might be your problem.
one more thing save the picture in your windows folder then browse to there and try to set as wall paper.
