OK should be an easy one for you guys:
I Cant remove/change desktop background pic i dont know how but i somehow ended up "setting as desktop background" a picture from my pictures folder when i was looking at it ...

possible TMI but it is a nice pic of me and a previous GF that i do not want to "greet me" every time i turn my PC on.
my PC is running Windows 8.5? (the version of widows8 * that was such a stuff up that they provided a "patch " which took a day to install.
The offending pic appears as background if i open my PC on either IE or Google chrome

I have found the thumbnail pic of it under "settings" or something but no matter what i to it , eg un tick it or try all the other options it simply wont go away , I tried to add more alternative pictures in the thumb nail box but i cant do that either

as you can tell im no computer expert so those who are please assist me ( but PLEASE no jargon terms i simply wont understand ...simple step 1 step 2 instructions )
thanks

Find any pic in your computer. RIGHT click it one time then choose 'set as desktop background'.
