I need help!

My stupid sister has changed my wallpaper on my computer, replacing the trickc goodness with a picture of herself.

I can't find my original copy or link, the picture is the one where Chris is hugging JC, you all know the one. It's black and white and I'm sure [livejournal.com profile] jchalo made it, but it's gone!

WOE!

ETA: It's fixed. Thank you to everyone that helped.

You know what's sad? I knew exactly which picture you were talking about. ;)

That's not sad. It just shows you're a trickc girl at heart really ;)

Halo used to have all her wallpapers on a site but not anymore, it seems.

I don't have the one you describe though. Sorry.

Thanks for looking though :)

I wonder why she took them down. Quite sad. They're all so awesome, they deserve their little place on the internet.

Did you save the file to a particular place, or did you do the Windows thing where you right-click and Set as Background?

If you did the second, then you're looking for a file that's called Internet Explorer Wallpaper.bmp, and it's in this folder (if you have XP--otherwise you'd have to search for it, 'cause I don't know):

C:\Documents and Settings\whatever!your!login!name!is\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer

Me again--you actually don't want to do the Set as Background thing, because if someone (for instance your sister) comes and does Set as Background, then that Internet Explorer Wallpaper.bmp file gets overwritten with her choice.

The Right-click/save picture option works much better, because then you have the actual file with a unique name. Just for future reference.

Thanks so much for that. I did find the file in the end and believe me I'll be saving it the way you said from now on.

Yay! I'm so glad you found it.

And yeah. I like to know what my wallpapers are called, because I have a ZILLION of them, over the years, cute guys and artwork and screen shots from games and movies. I change my wallpaper all the time and I like having choices.

That said, it is simply NOT DONE, to change someone else's wallpaper. Very tacky....

Yeah, I followed your directions and there it was.

Tell me about it. I was furious. I don't mind her using my computer but doing things like this is guaranteed to change that.

Or, hey, I have it up in a folder on my site, because--what if I lost it? *g*

Email on it's way, but if you click the link in my comment above, I have it stored on my website, too *g* Because you just never know when you'll have a computer crash... :)

Thank you! :D
