2 HOW TO CHANGE WINDOWS 7 STARTER BACKGROUND/WALLPAPER.

This being the very first post this year,I'd like to say ‘Happy New Year’ to you all.

By default,the Windows 7 Starter edition of windows does not include the Personalization feature to 'change desktop background',edit 'Sounds,color & ScreenSaver' when the desktop is right-clicked on,and this makes it rather galling.

Having to leave the Computer's background all blue is even more appaling.
As a newbie to using the starter version,I didn't know it was a minus to its features as I resolved within me that I'd purchased a fake Computer system and wanted to return it as I was still within the period of guarantee until I met an engineer who informed me that the background can 'NEVER' be changed unless the OS is changed to another version.

While still planning to purchase an higher version of the Windows 7,I came across a software while surfing the net and that changed the whole story.

So in this article,I'll be giving two softwares which in my perspective are the only ones available and capable of changing the Starter desktop background.
So,I'll advise you to sit back with a cup of coffee in hand coz you might need it while trying to decide which software to download.

Applications To Change Desktop-Background In Windows 7 Starter.

Like I mentioned above there are two applications capable of performing this task.
Therefore,I'll be stating their similarities,uniqueness likewise their download links here.

1. Starter Background Changer 0.8.1 (SBC)»
Just like the name depicts,this Software is good at one thing only.....
Changing that awful looking static-blue background.

Though,this software's translation is a bit weird (Only during the installation process),it surely is a must-have application for any Starter user.

When installed,the ‘Personalize’ command which is previously not included in the desktop context menu will be added automatically.

Now,whenever you select the Personalize command from the menu,you can easily modify the Wallpaper,Sound,Colors and Screensavers.

2. Oceanis background Changer(OBC)
Just like the above mentioned software,OBC also helps to change the wallpaper of any Windows 7 starter operating system.

The installation process and language used are pure english language unlike SBC.

• They have one purpose i.e To change the desktop background.
