lost my wallpaper

memory · 08-22-2007, 01:04 PM

I just updated my video card driver and now the wallpaper I have been using is gone and I can't remember the site where I got it from. I am pretty sure I got the site from this forum but could not find it. I am thinking it is something like real or authentic desktop environments. I tried to google it but came up with nothing. I hope somebody can help me out.

Didn't you save the image to your HDD? Even if you right click on an image online and set it to desktop it still has to download / cache it to somewhere. Tried searching for the filename extension? *.jpg, *.png on your PC using Windows Search? etc and see if it brings anything up.

No I did not save the image. I wish I had now. I tried searching for it on my hard drive but no luck. Is that the only two extensions it would be?

just do a search for files in the extension .jpg or .bmp then when the results come up browse them 1 by 1 ,yes it's a pain to look at them all but its worth it

Don't forget to copy the file to a location that you can easily get to as well...

Do a search for the following:

*.jpg
*.png
*.gif (although unlikely)
*.bmp

If it's not one of those four, then it's unlikely that it did cache / autosave.

I found it. I did a search under .bmp extension. Thanks for all your help. On the wallpaper it says RDP Real Desktop Environment Natural Aesthetics but I can not find anything on that. I would still like to find the website.
