Wallpaper is a picture of an item. The wallpaper can be a single item in the center of your screen, or it can be tiled to fill the entire screen. Although there is a list of wallpaper pictures in Windows 95, any picture can be converted to wallpaper. In fact, most Web browsers will let you right-click a picture you download and automatically make it your computer's Wallpaper.
