The first step is to hover the mouse over a blank area on the desktop screen. Once there, right-clicking the mouse will bring up a menu, one option of which will be "Personalize". From here, the features and appearance of the desktop can be changed. A picture can also be set as the desktop's background by right-clicking the picture and selecting the option "Set as desktop background".
