Your request will be answered right away.Here are the steps for downloading most pictures you like to your hard drive. First you double click the thumbnail you like. Once you have the larger view on your screen you:
This will open a new window. This is the “Save Picture” window. This is the place you decide where to place your picture.
There are three boxes in this window that you want to note before actually clicking the save button.
At the top you see “Save In”. This box lets you decide what folder to place your picture in. The default folder is called “My Pictures”. I save all of my pictures in this folder.
There is one exception to this case. If you recently saved something to your computer, that folder name will be here. For example, if you just saved a file called "Letter to Mom" in your documents folder, this is where your pictures will be saved to. I have lost many files (including pictures) this way.
A click on the arrow at the right will allow you to choose another folder to place your picture in. This would be a good time to make note of what folder your picture file will go in. You will need to know when you go back to find your nature wallpaper picture later.
Look down at the bottom of your “Save Picture” window.
At the bottom of this save picture window you see “File Name”. The name given to the picture when it was created is here. You may change this name to something easier to remember. This will be the name you look for when you are ready to create your nature wallpaper.
"Save as Type" Box

This last box will tell you what format your picture is in.
“Save as type:” This is the format of your picture. Most pictures you get from the web are in what is known as a JPEG (*.jpg). Some pictures may try to save as a format known as “bitmap”. You want to change this to the JPEG format from the drop down menu if you can.
Now you are ready to click the save button.
Now you are ready to retrieve your Nature Wallpaper picture from your computer. Do you remember where you saved it? We are going to assume you saved it in the folder known as “My Pictures”.
The easiest thing to do is to do a search for “My Pictures”. The My Pictures folder may be the only folder that shows up. Right click on this folder and choose “Open” from the menu.
You will see a list of files. You should see your picture file toward the bottom of the screen. The view you see is probably just a list of file names.
Let’s change that view. At the top of you’re “My Pictures” folder click on the word View. Then from the drop down menu choose “Thumbnail”.
Your screen will change to small pictures to select from. Now all you have to do is right click on this small picture. Choose “Save as Desktop Background” from the menu.
You have just created beautiful Nature Wallpaper. I hope you have enjoyed our selection of Nature Wallpaper.
