The Bing homepage features a new image every day and there’s a new utility in town called Bing Desktop that will download and set these images as your desktop background automatically. Thus, if there’s a new image adorning the Bing website, your desktop wallpaper should change as well.
Bing Desktop is however more than just a wallpaper changing application. The real purpose of the app is to provide you instant access to Bing without having to launch the web browser.
Press the Windows Key + H keyboard shortcut and the Bing search box will pop-up right in the center of your screen. It can auto-complete your search queries – just like the search box on the Bing website – and hitting Enter will show the search results in your default browser.
I don’t get to use Bing very often because Google is the default search engine in all my browsers but with Bing Desktop installed, I hope to hit Bing more frequently than before. There’s also an easy hack to help you quickly switch between Bing and Google.
Bing Desktop is compatible with Windows 7.

Hey, If you have noticed that I have changed all download links from Mediafire to Windows Live SkyDrive... It took a lot of time, but it was worth of it.
Windows Live Skydrive is a better choice, as it gives 25 gb of free space to every user & is always on secure connection....
Features::
- Office Web Apps- Microsoft added Office Web Apps support to SkyDrive in its "Wave 4" update allowing users to upload, create, edit, and share Microsoft Office documents directly within a Web browser. Users can create, view and edit Microsoft Office Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote documents within the Web browser. In addition, Office Web Apps on SkyDrive also allow multiple users to simultaneously co-author Excel directly within the web browser, and co-author OneNote documents with another web user or the desktop application. Users can also view version history of Office documents stored on SkyDrive.
- Office Desktop App Integration- Users of recent versions of Microsoft Office (for Windows or Macintosh) can use the desktop applications to simultaneously edit documents stored on SkyDrive. This is a collaborative real-time editing suite as multiple users can use combinations of desktop applications and the web apps to simultaneously edit a document. SkyDrive enables this feature that otherwise requires a sharepoint server and the full professional versions of Microsoft Office to better compete with a similar feature in Google Docs, which requires using the web app.
- Hotmail integration- Windows Live SkyDrive integrates with Windows Live Hotmail which allow users to:
1. Directly upload Office documents and photos within Hotmail, store them on Windows Live SkyDrive, and share them with other users.2. Directly save Office documents within Hotmail to Windows Live SkyDrive, and view or edit these documents directly within the web browser.3. Allow Hotmail users to edit Office documents within the web browser using Office Web Apps, and reply directly back to the sender with the edits made.
- Bing integration- Windows Live SkyDrive integrates with Bing's Save & Share feature, allowing users to save search histories into a SkyDrive folder.
- RSS feeds- It is possible to subscribe to RSS feeds of the content of public folders. The feeds contain preview images of the added files—either a thumbnail of an image or an icon representing the file type—and links to the file download pages.
- Download as .zip file- Entire directories can be downloaded as a single .zip file with SkyDrive.
