Bing Desktop 1.3.478.0

Bing Desktop is a free utility tool designed for Windows computers that brings the beauty and functionality of Bing directly to your desktop. Developed by Microsoft, this official app allows you to set Bing's wallpaper of the day as your desktop background, make Internet Explorer your default browser, utilize MSN as your homepage, and designate Bing as your search provider.

One of the standout features of Bing Desktop is the ability to add a Bing search box to your desktop. This search box is easy to use and opens results in your default browser. You can access it by pressing the keyboard shortcuts 'Windows key + H' or by single-clicking if you have pinned it to your desktop.

However, the most notable addition that Bing Desktop offers is the daily wallpaper. It automatically sets the current day's Bing image as your background, ensuring that you always have a stunning and high-quality wallpaper. By clicking the information symbol, you can learn more about the picture and the photographer.

Once installed, Bing Desktop appears as a small toolbar that can be moved around your screen. By clicking the cog symbol next to the search box, you can access various app options. While these options are not extensive, you can still choose to start the program automatically, enable or disable the hotkey, and decide whether or not to use the daily homepage theme as your wallpaper. Unfortunately, you cannot skip a wallpaper, so if you don't like the daily offering, you will need to manually select a new one from your own images. Additionally, you have the ability to modify your default search engine, but be aware that this may affect the search results and other content displayed in the program.

Bing Desktop is a responsive program that allows Bing fans to access all the content they love from Bing without needing to open the browser app. While it may lack some settings, it does not slow down your system when running.
