    Where are Windows 7 wallpaper(s) stored.


    Just about to do a clean install of Windows, and I want to backup the wallpaper I'm currently using.

    Where is it?

    Thanks.

    Could be anywhere, depends on what wallpaper your using, Right click desktop-Personalize- Click Desktop Background at the top is where they are stored 'Picture Location'

    Hope this Helps

    The thing is... I, for some reason, deleted the Wallpaper once I set it as my Desktop Background.

    So, If I go to picture location, it points me to where it was stored.

    Go through the picture location tab until it shows up!! Its on your desktop now right??
    Where did you get it from? In my 'picture location' i have a firefox entry where all my downloaded wallpapers are kept.

    Hello,

    I guess you could do a search for the Picture
    Search in Windows 7 then switch to Thumb nail to spot it more easily

    Hope this helps,
