3. Now click on the check box (make the bing homepage image your desktop background) and click on the image you want to keep as your desktop background. 

4. Now you should be able to see this image as your desktop wallpaper. 

5. Hold on, this won't be shown as slide show only the image you have chosen here will be shown. 

6. Now lets make this slide show (open your desktop background from Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Personalization\Desktop Background).

7. Your desktop background screen might show the following folder "C:\Users\<User name>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\BingDesktop\themes". Now choose all the images in the list.
