How do I put my avatar on my desktop?

Question

A old friend of mine always had her avatar on her desktop in the right hand corner. Whenever she changed her's, it would always update, and it was really cool! help me do this too!!!

Answer 1

Impossible,it's an web-based icon so you can't save it directly to your hard disk and send to your desktop as shortcut,you can indirectly do it but it's costly and complex task,like print the whole page containing your avatar,then scan that page and enter in your pc as any .jpg  or jpeg file then use any photo-editing software to cut the avatar portion,enlarge it ,edit it and save as any .Jpg or .jpeg file and use it as desktop wallpaper.

Answer 2

Well, there may be a program/Site in which you can.. But get a screen shot of your avatar, paste into paint, cut out the avatar, Place in the rest of the background as your choice, save, go to your settings and add the Paint pic to your background.

Or take a look around with a search engine.. add some key words such as avatar, yahoo, Background

Or as a last option get in contact with your friend and ask her what she did.
