  A few weeks ago I read a newsgroup posting asking how to stop images being
stretched over the whole background. I cannot remember if it was this
newsgroup but here goes anyway.

  The way to get it unstretched in win95 is to:

1. Click Start, Run
2. Type Regedit.
3. When regedit starts navigate to
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Control Panel/desktop/
4. Find the value WallpaperStyle double click on it
5. Change the value to '0' (without quotes)

*NOTE* - You may want to back up your registry first

*NOTE* - To have the background tiled set it to '1' or stretched again set
it to '2' (without quotes)

PS - I did discover that myself if you want to learn more about the Windows
Registry goto www.regedit.com
