I have a photo I use on my desk top. I made an edit to the original in my
photo gallery and would like to restore the photo used on my desk top back
into my photo gallery. Does anyone know how I can do this? I try to right
click on the image as it's displayed in "control panel/appearance and
themes/display/desktop/*.*; but it does not give me the option to "save as".
Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks!

Hi Stewart126,
I am having the same problem and worse. I have been changing my desktop
photos rather frequently, and have just discovered today that when I
right-cllick on a favorite pictures and set it as desktop background, it
deletes the earlier file and replaces it with the new one. Needless to say
I have lost many of my best shots... but not all, however. XP seems to take
the picture out of the photo gallery folder and place it in the folder with
all the standard Microsoft Desktop bacground pictures but it does not seem to
leave a copy in the origional folder. What is driving me carzy is I do not
understand why some of my favorites that have been used as desktop background
are still with us, and others have vanished inot cyberspace. Can anyone
help me?
 
When you right click on an image on the internet and select set as
background using IE the image is given a generic name of Internet Explorer
Wallpaper then when you right click a different image and select set as
background the current image is overwritten with the same name. You need to
save images to hard drive then browse and select to an image for your
background if you wish to prevent images being overwritten for future use on
the desktop.
