Where do I put Wallpaper after unzipping?

Newbie Needs Help!

July 23, 2008 8:40:39 AM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

Hi All,

Being a Newbie to WindowBlinds I downloaded my first wallpaper from winCustomize... I unzipped it. But now I don't know what folder to put it in so it shows up with the other wallpapers...

Thanks for any help,

Suanough, Hurricane Central, Katy TX

Or you can put them in your pictures. Thats what I do.
Then just right click and "set them as your background"

In another thread it was determined that when you use this function in Vista the quality is degraded.  Be warned.

I have a folder under My Documents called "My Wallpaper"

There's no right or wrong place but putting them in Windows/Web/Wallpaper means you won't have to "Browse" for them.

Since we had the option to change wallpapers inside WB6, I put mine in Public/Documents/Stardock/Windowblinds/Wallpapers.... makes things easy for old geezers like me, lol

Ok....shoot me then! Wallpapers have always gone into that folder...at least on my pc...until everyone started making one folder after another for them to go in. I prefer to keep things tidy...a place for everything and everything in its place. I really don't like having numerous folders for one thing.

Yet another option:If it goes with a WB,you can open WB config,go to the wallpaper tab and drag and drop the wall into it.Then select it when you change WindowBlinds.
