I noticed that after putting an embarrassing picture of a co-worker on her
desktop.  All you have to do it change the wallpaper to another wallpaper
then change it back to the wallpaper that you want.  It seems that window
will display the last wallpaper "internet explorer" wallpaper before log-on.
I don't know why it happens, but it happens on 98 too.

Subject: [PCSOFT] deleting unwanted desktop graphic


Hi, Folks.  I downloaded a photo from a website and set it as background so
I could see it better.  I decided I didn't want the photo as background, so
changed the wallpaper back to my usual, boring stuff. Now, when I boot up,
this photo comes up briefly on the desktop, then disappears. My desktop is
back as I set it with the plain MS wallpaper.

I decided to delete the photo, so I right clicked on the desktop, went to
settings and looked through my options for wallpaper.  The picture is not
there.  I looked in My Docs>My pictures, and it wasn't there.  I have done a
search for anything with the name of the website as part of the text of a
file or folder.  Found the website's cookie and deleted it.  Found another
of the website's cookies and deleted it.  Can't find the picture anywhere in
the computer. Don't know what name the computer saved it under or the path
where it might have been saved.  I didn't get a pop-up box asking me where I
wanted it save, so I'm lost.

I'm running Win2000 Professional.  Where should a too-curious person look
for this picture so she can get rid of it?

TIA, Brenda Dencer
