Wallpaper Tagging in Vista
Everyone knows about the Windows Wallpaper section in Vista, which is categorized by tags, unlike the rest of the sections presented in the Wallpaper dialog. This tutorial will go over how to add your own wallpaper to the Windows Wallpaper dialog, and tag it so that it appears under a category. Here’s a YouTube explaining the steps from downloading the wallpaper to adding it to Vista’s wallpaper dialog.
Regular boring tutorial with pictures follows ahead.
Move Your Picture to the Wallpaper Folder
Right click your picture, and hit Cut (or alternatively drag and drop it into the folder in the next step).
Head over to C:\WINDOWS\Web\Wallpaper and right click on a spot and select Paste.
