Solved Windows Background image

[symp]

Hi,
I somehow lost the actual file that I am using for my background image,
is it stored somewhere that I can go copy it and put it back in my pictures?
I would just search for it, but it was a download with a lot of numbers :/

thx,
Symp

btw,
I did look here,
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows Photo Viewer
and it has my old one listed,
the one I am using is over a year old, so the previous one.. wow..

If you 'saved' it, it could be in your downloads.

Dude,
Thanks man..
it was in the **/themes folder..
life saver, I would have had hated to loose it..
as that directory only showed the one, I'm glad I didn't change it as I was about to when I noticed it wasn't in my pictures/wallpaper folder and said to myself.. don't do it!
heh..

thanks again,
symp

:tip: Make a copy of it into another folder & rename it to something you will remember :tip:
