Desktop Background Tip

The background for this month's newsletter entitled "Sunset on Pine Mtn. Letcher County" comes from photographer Chris Jones.  To use it on your desktop, just right click on the background of this newsletter and choose, "set as desktop background."

During the summer keep your digital camera handy to grab a picture you can use on your desktop later.  Just save your pictures to a folder then when you want to change the desktop, right click on the picture while in that folder and choose "set as desktop background."
