Using Logos from UserLogos

In this tutorial I will teach you how to use to use logos found on this site.

in order for fast dial to use the logos on this site, they have to be downloaded to your computer. Let's make a folder that can store the logos that you download.
You can store the logo anywhere on your computer but "my pictures" and "my documents" are the two most common places to store logos.

I store my logos in my document and that is what i am going to show here but you can easily store them in my picures. If you want to store them in my pictures whenever I say to click on my documents click on my pictures instead.
