OK techies , how do I post a picture of my desktop? And please , in idiot friendly language!!

How do you normally post your pics Tony?

PS Hint: Have a look at my screensaver!

 

[Gern]

Open task manager and take a look at the processes tab. Something's not quite right on your machine Dave.Cheers

Steve

I had a look and couldn't find anything in Processes, but I remembered my bro telling me if there was nothing there I should try the Internet Options tool to find out what was set to run automatically. I found some in the 'Manage Add On' section called 'Run without permission'. I stopped all the 'Sharepoint' ones and - touch wood - that seems to have done the trick.

Here is my relaxed contribution.

Nothing racy at all, but actually this is used for my screen saver.

I use a generic Window back ground that is more relaxed....

Tony minimise everything so that your desktop is the only thing on your errr...screen

Press whatever button has Prt Sc on it. Mine says Prt Sc and Sys Rq whatever that is

Open up the 'Paint' programme. If you can't find it click on the windows button, bottom left of your screen, and type 'paint' into the search box. Paint will be the only option shown under programmes in the result.



Open Paint



When you've got paint open hit Ctrl +V together and your desktop image will appear in the white box.



Save it as what you want (I generally choose jpeg) and where you want. This can be done from the file menu, top left.



Now you can post it on the forum in the way you would any other picture...I hope

Cheers

Steve

Mine is the standard window Hate, desktop. Surprisingly, I have very few photos on my pc. I have them on a file server or two. Just lost too many great photos to buggered hard drives to have them local-

I also normally have something with wings on it on my screen. Today's offering is the old TWU Hawk scheme. A bit of inspiration for my next builds. First time using that Prt Sc Sys Rq button. Probably the last time too I imagine View attachment 91766

[Guest]

She was a beautiful car but apparently not popular at the time I know what you mean I would snap your arm off for one, especially that one never seen that colour before.

 

[Guest]

The soft top is just out of this world.

Another one I liked but was never popular (ahead if it's time I recon) was the corsair (the square one) nearly bought one but my ex wouldn't let me said it was pig ugly.

 

[Guest]

Know what you mean almost bought a gold convertable corsair off a mate of mine he was in the navy & was being drafted to ships wanted £200 for it.

[Guest]

I would've snapped his arm off. I thought my ex would go for the one I wanted as it was pink (obviously not original colour) but apart from that it was immaculate.
