background, but sometimes it won't let you. Is there another way???

Answer 1

You can do it, but it will take a little work. First, you have to find a full size image of the picture you want. A thumbnail won't do much good as a background. When you've found the picture you want, move the mouse pointer off the picture and press the "Print Screen" button on your keyboard. This will save a copy of what's on your monitor to your clipboard.

From here, open up your favorite photo editing program. MS Paint works fine. Go to Edit>>Paste and you should now see what you copied to the clipboard. Now you crop the image to just include the photo you want, and save your work. All you have to do now is set that saved file as your desktop background.
