Wallpaper Frustration

rctneil · 4 May 2010 at 16:35

Hello,
A friend has a photo as his desktop wallpaper and it as set up as a wallpaper directly from the CD is was stored on. He no longer has the CD but the image is still se up as the desktop wallpaper. When I go into Display Settings and choose the Desktop tab and single click the image and press the "Browse" button it attempts to open the image from the D:/ Drive which is his optical drive and it obviously cannot find it.

Is there any way of getting the image back as an image file?

Thanks

Regards,
Neil

clear everything off the desktop, hide the taskbar and printscreen. Paste into MSPaint and save

In Windows XP, it may be in the C:/Documents and settings/USER/Application Data/Microsoft/Internet Explorer folder.

Failing that you could just do a search for *.jpg and trawl through the images until you find it.

^windows usually creates a .bmp file when you use the "set as desktop option". it'll be be in the user profile somewhere.
