I accidently deleted the standard wallpapers when I was going through and
cleaning up my pictures. They are not in the recycle bin. Is there any way
I can restore them? Or, is there a site on Microsoft where I can download
them? I am using Windows XP Pro, SP2. I have tried to find the correct way
to do this, but I must not be searching the right way. Thank you to anyone
who will help me with this.

First off, you really don't need them. Windows won't stop performing.
Any friend can send them to you. I usually delete them as I like what I
can find in google images better. My grandson is better wallpaper.

You can download the Microsoft supplied wallpapers that are stored in the
C:\WINDOWS\Web\Wallpaper folder from this web site.

The collection of available XP wallpapers will also include 11 .BMP files that
are located in the C:\Windows folder. Let men know If these are missing and you
want to restore them. I might be able to put something together that you can
download.

Good luck
