To add a little life to your Windows 98 desktop, double-click the Control Panel's Desktop Themes icon. Here, Windows 98 can decorate your display with a wide variety of sights and sounds. Have a fetish for dangerous animals? Click the Dangerous Creatures option to add a mountain lion for wallpaper; growling noises emerge from clicked icons, and your pointer turns into a killer bee as Windows 98 works in the background.

Don't see the Desktop Themes option on the Control Panel? Double-click the Control Panel's Add/Remove Programs icon, click the Windows Setup tab, and click Desktop Themes from the Components menu. Click the OK button, and Windows 98 will install the Desktop Themes. (It might ask for your original Windows 98 CD, however.)
