Background Wallpaper in Win 95
How do I put a Powerpoint 97 slide as a wallpaper in Windows 95? You can't just copy it in C:\Windows folder, that doesn't work.

That sounds like it will work, same as my method but neater.
Another option :
Open up the slide in power point and press <Alt>+<Print Scrn>. Open up Microsoft Paint and select Edit->Paste. This will paste the image into paint and then save the image in paint, and it saves as a .bmp file.

All good comments. And yes, Windows 95 will only use a BMP file as a backround. Some programs (Thumbs Plus www.thumbsup.com) can take a JPG, or other graphic file and set it as your walpaper. It converts the file to a BMP, and it is then your backround.

Thanks for all the comments/suggestions.
I saved the file as JPEG in Powerpoint and found software that converted it to Bitmap after which I was allowed to save it as a wallpaper. Within the program I can adjust the size of the slide so it fits in the centre on the background.
