Question by : Is changing the desktop background even possible on my version of Windows 7 ?
I have a version of windows 7 that apparently makes it impossible to change my desktop background/wallpaper. When I look at “how to” videos or articles it says go to the control panel and click personalization, or click change desktop backgorund, and these options are non-existant in my control panel. If i go to the search engine in my control panel and type these words nothing comes up. If i right click a picture in my folder “set as background image” or whatever doesnt even come up. HELP??

Give your answer to this question below!
Right click in the middle of your desktop, and select personalize. Click desktop background. Go from there.
It would be nice to know which version of W7 you have. The most basic version might indeed not have that feature.
I did a search for “vista starter desktop background” on the Microsoft website and got this result:

Looks like Windows Vista Starter edition doesn’t have the ability to change backgrounds.
Sorry.
