Use Your Own Pictures:

One of the best ways to get free desktop wallpaper is to use photos of your own. You can have photos of your children, pets, or partying friends plastered on your desktop.

Take some digital pics of your family or friends and download them to your computer. Open up one of the images in an image viewing program, then right click on the image and select, “Set as Desktop Background.” The image will then be set as your background.

You can also do this on any of your favorite web sites. If you see a funny picture, you can always right click and select, “Set as Desktop Background.”
