It might be in C:\WINDOWS or C:\WINDOWS\Web\Wallpaper, if you know the filename, I would just do a search of the whole C: drive.

best way to keep track of your pictures is to use picasa

It could be in the C:\WINDOWS under the image name or the program that you used to set it as a wallpaper.

It's always in the Windows file, called "ACD Wallpaper.bmp" on my computer.
But it will be overwritten with the newest one, not saved in any way.

Yes most other programs will put it in the windows folder like.
Netscape X.X Wallpaper -X for version number.
ACD Wallpaper
PhotoBrushWall
And so on.

I like ACDsee because what every you got picked in the display properties is the default.
So using ACDsee to change wallpaper you can just go up to wallpaper and pick default and you got things back the way they were.
