Saving Web Graphics

From Dummies.com

As you're browsing Web pages with Internet Explorer, you may come upon some sites that offer graphic images for downloading. You can save Web graphics on your computer hard drive in one of the following three ways:

• As a graphic file for viewing and printing in the My Pictures folder. To do this, right-click the graphic and then click Save Picture As on the image shortcut menu.
• As the wallpaper for your desktop. To do this, right-click the graphic and then click Set as Background on the image shortcut menu.
• As a Desktop item that appears on your computer desktop. To do this, right-click the graphic and then choose Set as Desktop Item on the image shortcut menu.

Note that if you save a Web graphic as the wallpaper for your desktop, you have a choice between tiling the image (that is, duplicating it across the entire desktop), centering it in the middle of the desktop, or stretching it so that it fills the entire desktop (which most often results in a severely distorted image). Also note that some Web graphics (photographs and works of original art, usually) are copyrighted, and Web designers do have a way to disable your right click function while you're surfing their Web sites.
