A. To change your desktop, right click in an open space on the desktop, select Properties then Desktop. There are many choices including None; try them out by selecting each one and clicking Apply. When you find one you want to keep, click OK.

If you have MS Office and you’re already using Outlook Express, and want to “upgrade” to Outlook, it’s a simple matter to open Outlook and let the Setup Wizard import your address book and email from Outlook Express.

If you haven’t been using Outlook Express and need to set up Outlook manually, I think these steps will get the job done: open Outlook and click on Tools > Email Accounts > View or Change existing e-mail accounts. An incoming Post Office Protocol (pop.email service.com) account should be listed—actually, mail can be imported from more than one email account. Click Next. User Info: is your complete email address (mphillip1@sbcglobal.net); Server Info: is Incoming mail (POP3) pop.sbcglobal.yahoo.com; Outgoing mail (SMTP) smtp.sbcglobal.yahoo.com. More Settings > General tab > Mail account: pop.sbcglobal.yahoo.com. Outgoing server: check in the box beside My outgoing server requires authentication and click the radio button beside Use same settings as incoming. Click Advanced; click OK and Finish.

If the above doesn’t work, call Technical Support for your internet service and ask them to walk you through it.
