Windows Desktop wallpaper for Independence Day

Image 1 of 27

Citizens Bank Park Fireworks

Earlier this week, Greg Shultz showed us how he added a patriotic theme to his Microsoft Windows 7 Desktop for the United States Independence Day celebration. His blog post, Add Windows 7 themes and backgrounds for the July 4th holiday, showed you how to add the images and create a Windows 7 slide show. However, I thought we'd take the idea a little further with a TechRepublic Photo Gallery of free patriotic images that you can pick and choose from for your own personalized Windows Desktop slideshow.
