Go to Start/Control Panel/Display-Appearance tab, Advanced button
Try a new color scheme and different fonts. The “Appearance” tab and the Advanced button lead to the most options for changing many parts of what you see.
Go to Start/Control Panel/Display-Screensaver tab. Select the Google Photo Viewer. Click on Settings and configure the viewer to view all the photos in your folders that you select. You can try different visual effects such as “Collage” which allows photos to be virtually stuck on top of your desktop for 10 seconds or whatever time you select.
Go to National Geographic site to the Wallpaper part and pick something for the background of your desktop. That is the Wallpaper. You can select by type of picture or by major color, you know, to match the room.
Start using Firefox for your browser if you aren’t already. It’s usually considered the safest and the best and it is free. Once it is installed and you can use Google.com or some other web site, go to Firefox Tools menu and select Options. Click on the privacy mask and click the box for private browsing. Then, shop among Tools/Add-ons for free added stuff. I recommend the Better Privacy add-on, the Screengrab add-on and the 1-click weather add-on. I didn't think the weather would be as helpful as it is. After you find the options and set the little video option to your area of the country, just placing the mouse over the icon of the continental US will show you if rough weather is on the way.
