    Read the "riot act". Realize that Bing only intends this image to be used as wallpaper and nothing else. It won't let you set it anywhere but as wallpaper on your computer. The licensing to these images will legally restrict their use to any other use you may intend to use it for, but only to be used as desktop images.
  4. 4
    Click the Download button.
  5. 5
    Save the file, don't just use an "open (file)" option when the downloader opens asking you to choose between the two options.
