Handhelds and smartphones with cameras mean your screen can now sport the wallpaper you see in the real world. Snap a picture of your favorite real-world wallpaper, or any other image that suits you, and you can quickly make it the wallpaper on your home screen. Here's how.

Activate your camera (on some devices, to do this you simply click Start then select Camera). Point your device at the image you envision as your perfect wallpaper.

Press OK to snap a photo and then click Save.

Click on My Photo and your My Pictures folder will be displayed, with thumbnail images. Use the arrow keys to select the image you want and then click on the Menu button. Select Set As and then Home Screen to change your wallpaper to your new photo. Return to your home screen and enjoy the new décor.
