How To Add A Background Pattern

1. Pick a pattern, any pattern.

2. Click on Edit Pattern.

3. Change it to suit your fancy.

4. Where it says "Name", overtype it with the name of your choice.

5. When it asks if you want to save the new pattern, say yes.

See here (it specifies WINNT but works with 95/98 too):

Hope this helps!

Actually step 5 should be:

5. When you're done editing the pattern and have given it a name, click Add, then Done. It'll now be on th elist.

Go to Start>Settings>Control Panel,then right click the Display Icon,and select properties,select background tab,you select the back ground or use the browse or pattrn button to specify your choices.
To specify a background pattern,click the Pattern button.Choose a pattern from the Patern dialog box
To create a custom pattern,select a pattern and then click the Edit Pattern button to open the pattern dialogue box
Type a new name and click Add or edit the existing pattern and click change.
click OK

When you hit the "Add"-button you can find your wallpaper under c:\Windows. But you can also find wallpapers under other location too. If you go to "start"-button, and then "search", "Find file or folders" you will get a window where you can search for filename or filetype (ex. gif/jpg etc.). You will then get a list over all your picture you have on your computer. When you have located the picture you want to use as a wallpaper you can do two things:
1: You can use "Add"-button and go to the folder that the picture is in.
": You can copy/move it to the folder C.\Windows. In this folder lies all your wallpapers original. You may also get the question "Do you want to show Active Desktop?". If this question appear when you are changing wallpaper you can hit "Yes" button. You can change this back later.
