    Using winxp-desktop-backgroundimage on win7

    Despite a lot of google-hits i could not find the right folder where one must move the winxp-desktop-background-image to use in win7. The findings were not true.
    Thanks a lot.

    Yes they are there
    For windows XP, wallpaper files are located in C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper. I have dug them out and used them in Win 7
    C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper


    You can also check c:\documents and settings/user name\App data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer.

    I believe I did convert to .jpg

    Well, the internet explorer would have only the last one that you R-clicked , a picture on the internet, and selected set as backgound.

    Changing the image is making me upset

    Have saved my jpg-image(ćonverted from bmp) from winxp in wallpaper-folder.
    during that proćedure all of a sudden desktop(blue was ćhanging to offićial MS-image(the sign).
    when trying to ćhange to my image in landsćape-folder i dont find a list of images to ćhoose from but one spećial image(ćanion-strućture) is displayed. i am giving up for today.
    yes i have found an instrućtion how to do.
    update
    Have found the trigger. all images were ćhećked(why?) to be ćhanged every 30 min.
    had to rename(maybe) sinće the others were also named imgn.jpg n=figure.
