• Click on personalization.
• Then go to background option.

Converting a picture as wallpaper

I use PC Suite version 6.81.13 and my phone is a 6230i. I connect the phone from my PC (Windows XP Service Pack 2) using a USB DKU 3 cable.

On a previous version of PC suite there was a program for converting a picture on the PC to use as wallpaper on the phone. This was a step by step program which adjusted sizes etc. Great for sticking photos of grandchildren on your phone as wallpaper

I have tried to find the equivalent on version 6.81.13 but have failed. Has it been removed or is granddad having yet another "senior moment".

Can somebody please point me in the direction so I can convert a picture on my PC to wallpaper on my Nokia 6230i.

 

Quick Access not searching Pictures folder


Summary, that last suggestion didn't work.

• I moved the pictures to another folder temporarily.

• Then I tried to remove the Pictures folder with option one at Add or Remove Folders from This PC in Windows 10 | Windows 10 Tutorials. Even after rebooting, the Pictures folder remained.
• So I tried using option two. Same thing: reboot >> Pictures folder still there.

• Since there were no troubleshooting steps for this scenario, just for the heck of it, I ran through the restore steps. Copied some pictures into the Pictures folder, ran a Quick Access search and initial problem remains: Searching all of QA doesn't find any files in Pictures folder, running search on just the Pictures folder does. I want to run a global search and find matching files in any/all of the Documents, Music, Videos, and Pictures folders.

That article dates from 2015 and I'm guessing is out of date. I hope it didn't create potential future problems in my registry.

Bottom line: I'm still looking for a fix.
