Hi,
I have a new computer (vista) and really want the background/wallpaper
picture from my Windows XP computer and I cannot get it. I don't know the
file extension, I have tried saving a theme, but I am lost. This came with
the windows xp computer (home edition) and it is a wonderful picture of an
adobe home with a blue window and a wood ladder that has two bunches of dried
flowers in purple and gold hanging upside down for drying and also a red
chili ristra. One site I found said to kill the screen and take a screen shot
and transfer it but when I did that my snag-it program to get the screen
didn't work so I couldn't get the image without icons. I have also tried
saving a theme and transferring but no luck. I realize this isn't as
important as what most of you discuss but I love the pic, it makes me feel
good. Help - Claudia - (e-mail address removed)

On your XP computer, open this folder,

C:\WINDOWS\Web\Wallpaper

Find a file named Home.jpg.
Copy that file and place it in a handy location on your Vista
computer.
Right click on the file and select "Set as Desktop Background"
from the menu.
