How doI change my wallpaper?

[Charlorne]

I have tried everything I can think of to change my wallpaper.
I put a new one on my desktop and I can't change it. Browsing in the display and clicking on a new one has no effect. I can change the colors under my folders but the wallpaper is stuck!
Can someone help. This is a new computer with XP home.
Thank you,

go to the folder where the Desktop background you want is and right click the picture and click set as desktop background

Thank you, I finally found the wallpaper by right clicking on the desktop--and going to customize and in the web tab unclicking the one I didn't want. That worked but I now have a new problem, my wallpaper covers the desktop except for about 1 1/2 inches on the right side. I have stretch clicked but I have to drag the wallpaper across the desktop and there is this ugly blank
space.

Any suggestions for that anyone?
Thanks,
