    Hi, this is what I need, I found a picture in the internet that I like, but instead of saving it, I just right clicked in it and saved it as a screensaver.
    Now i would like to save it in my pictures folders.
    But where in my pc the picture is?.
    I almost forgot, the site from where I took it is not there anymore.
    Thank you for your help.

    What OS are you using?

    G.T. R.I.P February 4, 2007. You will be missed.

    More likely you saved it as a wallpaper image. It varies from one operating system to another, but generally Windows saves it as a file named "Internet Explorer Wallpaper.bmp". Do a search for that, and it should be your picture, with the location.

    G.T. is most likely right on the money. But, if you did save it as a screensaver, and you are using XP, it might be in your Windows\System32 folder, in a .scr file.
