We'll add the best whenever we have some time (BBC Tees doesn't create itself you know!)

We'll also add our own favourite snaps as we travel around the area on reporting assignments!

To activate your new desktop design, all you have to do is select your screen size!

It really is as simple as that, but if you need a bit more help then simply follow the step-by-step guide at the bottom of this page.

Tip: It might be worth printing out this page to have instructions handy!

If you're a budding photographer, why not submit your snaps to our wallpaper page?

If you have a PC with Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000 or XP installed...

1. First, check what screen size you are using. If you don't know, click the right-hand mouse button on an empty part of your "desktop". Select "Properties" and then click the "Settings" tab. Your screen size will be shown in pixels under the "Screen area" heading. Click OK to close the box.

2. Next, choose a desktop picture you like from this page and click on the appropriate screen size beneath it with your left-hand mouse button. A big version of the picture will appear in your browser window.

3. Make sure your mouse pointer is over the large version of the picture and press the right-hand mouse button. A list of options will appear - select "Set as Background". All done!

2. Next, choose a picture you like and click on the appropriate screen size beneath it and wait for it to load.

3. Hold the mouse button down so that a menu appears. Netscape users should select "'Save this link as..." and Internet Explorer Users should select "'Download Link to Disk"'. Save the file to your desktop.

4. Move the downloaded wallpaper file ("name".jpg) into your wallpapers directory. First-time users should make a directory at the top level of their hard disk called "Wallpapers" and move it there.

On the right-hand side, select the "Select Picture" button. (If you have a "Remove Picture" button instead of a "'Select Picture" button select this and your current desktop wallpaper will be removed, the "Select Picture" button will now appear.)
