| This photo "The view halfway Thorung La and Muktinath" is available as a wallpaper on this page. The wallpaper files are bitmap files (.bmp) compressed to downloadable files. These downloadable files are Zip files (.zip) or self-extracting executable files (.exe) for the Microsoft Windows operating systems. The self-extracting executable files are more easy to install. If you do not use a Microsoft Windows operating system or do not trust executable files (because of Trojan horses or viruses) you can download one of the slightly smaller Zip files. Microsoft Windows Me, XP and Vista all includes built-in tools for managing compressed files in the Zip file format. To extract the wallpaper file from the Zip file in older Microsoft Windows versions you need unzip utilities like WinRAR or WinZip. Download the appropriate file by clicking on one of the buttons. Choose the file with the same resolution as your current display setting. |

For the Microsoft Windows operating systems: After downloading a Zip file, extract the wallpaper file to the Windows folder. The Windows folder is usually C:\Windows, except for Windows NT and 2000 in which case it is C:\WINNT. If you have downloaded one of the self-extracting executable files, open this file by (double) clicking on it in the Windows Explorer. After the self-extracting window has opened, click Accept to agree to the license agreement. Change in the next window the specified Windows folder if needed and click on Install. This will extract the wallpaper file to the C:\Windows folder by default or any other location you had specified by yourself. To activate the wallpaper, open the Display Properties dialogue box by clicking Start, pointing to Settings, clicking Control Panel, and then (double) clicking Display. In Desktop, click on "Thorung La xxx" for the background you want to use. The "xxx" represents the display resolution which should match the current setting of your display. Click Apply to see the changes before you close the dialogue box, or click OK to accept the changes and close the dialogue box. |
