Get the Bing Winter Wallpaper pack free

Some people stick with the default Windows wallpaper, icons, mouse pointers, screen saver and so on, but others like to customise their desktop. What sort of user are you? If you like giving your PC a brand new look then here is a great new theme from Microsoft - Bing Wallpaper and Screen Saver Pack: Winter. It works on Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8.

Download the file then go to the Downloads folder and run DefaultPack.exe. You will be asked if you want to set your browser's home page and search provider to Bing. It's your choice. Clear the tick boxes if you don't want to change anything.

After installation you'll see a winter scene on the desktop. Bing has some fantastic photos and these themes are excellent. Right click the desktop afterwards and select Personalize. The theme is listed in the My Themes section and you can switch back to the standard theme at any time. Click Desktop Background to see the wallpaper settings. By default it changes once a day to a new photo, but you can  change the frequency if you want to swap photos more often.

Click Screen Saver if you want to change the screen saver settings, such as how long to wait before it kicks in. Use the Preview button to see what the screen saver will look like without having to wait.
