Wallpaper resizing

Hi. I've been running Vista now for over a year and ever since I made the
switch, I've been annoyed, by how Vista deals with Wallpaper. I'm on using a
widescreen monitor, with vista, it doesnt' resize the image to fit without
stretching it. With XP, it would resize it while maintaining its
proportions, but I can't seem to find a way to do that with vista. Any Help
would be much appreciated

Are you using the Vista wallpaper? If so they have wide screen versions. If
not, you will need to edit the pictures to the wide screen size yourself.

There must be an easier way to do this.

Find wallpaper pictures online that fit your resolution parameters so
that they aren't distorted when fit to the screen.
