Cookieman, thanks for your reply. It looks like a winner except I confess I don't know how to do it. I set up my wallpaper by pulling up a jpg image and right click to the wallpaper option. Throughout the process I don't see an option for sizing the image to the screen. Obviously you have something else in mind. Can you please explain what process you're tracking.
Thanks!

He's talking about the option in the lower left of this picture,



You get there by right clicking on the desktop and choosing the personalize option.
