Open current wallpaper in Windows 7

I love the new feature that lets you select a bunch of pictures and windows 7 will rotate them automatically in your background.
Sometimes, I just want to open that picture to know some info about it.

Is there a way to open the current wallpaper?



I really hate having to go through my whole folder of wallpapers (200+) to find an image.
Thanks for your help.

When you go into Personalise and click Desktop wallpaper, the window will display all the images used for that certain theme. Just hover your mouse over any image you want and you'll get info such as filename, type, size, dimensions etc.

You can also right click it and select Properties. If you go to Open with and select Windows Photo Viewer it will open the image and with another right click you can click "open file location".

What I would like to do is right-click on the desktop and be able to see which picture is currently my wallpaper. Would that be possible?

Sorry if I wasn't clear enough in my last post.
