You can use the built-in File Explorer utility to set any image on your computer or external storage as the desktop background.
- To use this method, open the folder that contains your wallpaper with File Explorer.
- When you see your wallpaper, right-click it and select “Set as desktop background.”
- If you’d like to use one of Windows 10’s stock wallpapers, head to the following folder using File Explorer: C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper
- Check out various folders there, find the wallpaper that you want to use, right-click on the wallpaper, and select “Set as desktop background.”
You can use a web browser like Internet Explorer or Firefox to set any image on any website as your desktop wallpaper. That way, you don’t need to download the wallpaper first and then use the File Explore method to set it as the desktop background. You can do this entire task from within your browser.
- Keep in mind that Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge don’t offer this option. You need to rely on either Internet Explorer or Firefox to do this.
- To do this in Internet Explorer, open the “Start” menu, search for “Internet Explorer,” and click the browser in the results.
- Open the website where your wallpaper is located.
- Once you see your wallpaper, right-click it and select “Set as background.”
You’ll see a prompt on your screen. Click “Yes” in it to confirm your action.
- If you prefer to use Firefox, here’s how to use this browser to change your Windows 10 desktop wallpaper.
- Launch Mozilla Firefox and navigate to the web page where your desired wallpaper is located.
- Right-click your wallpaper and select “Set As Desktop Background.”

You’ll get a box that lets you define how the wallpaper appears on your desktop. If you see that your wallpaper isn’t covering the entire screen in the preview, click the “Position” dropdown menu and select “Stretch.”
Since Windows 10 gives you access to all the stock wallpapers, you can open this wallpapers folder and set the original wallpaper as your desktop background.
- To do this, open a File Explorer window and head to the following folder:
C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper\
- Find the original wallpaper, right-click it, and select “Set as desktop background.”
