Sorry my last post was for backgrounds that you save directly out of internet explorer. You can use filemon from sysinternals and go into your desktop backgrounds in display properties, click each picture you want to save while running filemon in the background. Filemon will show a Query as to the path of where the picture is located if you scroll through filemon for it. Kind of a long way of doing it but I tested it on my end and was able to see where my custom backgrounds were. CJ "Bob I" wrote: > Probably in your "My Pictures" folder then.

1. http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/Filemon.html 2. Scroll to the bottom of that web page and Download 32-bit versions of NT/2K/XP/Server 2003 3. Save the download to a location that you will know where to get it 4. After download, browse to the location of where you saved filemon 5. Right click on the filemon.zip and choose Extract All... 6 Select next (defaults) and next again, which should unzip the folder into the same place you downloaded filemon 7. Open the filemonNT folder and open Filemon.exe 8. By default it will start monitoring all activity of the files accessed in xp as you should see 9. Open your Display Properties (where you choose your different backgrounds) which can be access in the Control Panel under "Display" (or right click anywhere but an icon or taskbar on the desktop and choose "Properties") 10. Select the Desktop Tab at the tob of the Display Properties Window 11. With filemon.exe running already, inside of the Display Properties window select each one of the backgrounds that you need recovered 12. Filmon will log the queries to the backgrounds 13. Go into filemon which is alread open and push CTRL+E on your keyboard which will stop filemon from activly monitoring file activity 14. You can now scroll up through the list and find the entries that say for Example: "10:52:05 AM rundll32.exe QUERY INFORMATION C:\Backgrounds\mybackground.jpg SUCCESS Length:" 15. You should be able to locate the background now by browsing to the location of the picture file that it specified which in my case was: C:\Backgrounds\mybackground.jpg. 16. You should be able to copy this file now I hope this makes a little bit of sense anyway CJ "TIGGER" wrote: > I very much appreciate this info if it will help me copy those picks to my > pic folder but i am not very computer literate.
