A long time ago I used the Set as Background command of Internet
Explorer?s contextual menu to make the background gif of a cool
Japanese website into my desktop pattern. The background is still
displayed on my desktop, but I can?t find it on the hard drive to back
it up or use it elsewhere. When I check the Desktop tab of the Display
Properties dialog, the selected Background is listed as bgc_blue, but
the image being displayed on the model desktop is not the one on the
real desktop?it?s just a blank blue field. Selecting another desktop
pattern and coming back to bgc_blue transforms the real desktop into
the blank blue field. When I open bgc_blue on its own in a picture
program, it is just the blank field. All this makes me think that the
computer is not really using bgc_blue for the Desktop. Obviously, the
background image exists somewhere on the computer. Where could I find
it?

Hi mkzeugma,

Assuming you're using Windows XP, the wallpaper you save from Internet
Explorer should be here:

C:\Documents and Settings\{user}\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Internet Explorer Wallpaper.bmp

Other Windows XP wallpaper is located here:
C:\WINDOWS\Web\Wallpaper


Let me know if you find it.

Best regards,
Rainbow
