some pics I choose for my desktop appear as the originals.
others are automatically multiplied as 6 identical images of the same photo
most of the time a single image appears, but stretched like a fun-house
mirror...
how do I prevent this? thanks everybody

Hi Billy,

When you right click on your desktop and choose Properties and then the Desktop tab the 'Position' setting allows three choices

Center - Keep the original picture size, at center desktop

Tile - Repeat the original picture as needed to fill the desktop

Stretch - Enlarge the selected picture to have one copy fill the desktop.

If your picture is a portrait (tall) one being stretched on a landscape (wide) desktop, the stretch choice can look odd.
