    Hey guys I know there are some awesome desktop/wallpaper sites out there and i'm always looking for new wallpapers/desktops.
    I thought everyone could share their favorite places around the net to get wallpapers. Please list the site name, URL, and a catagory description.
    here's an example

    Wallpaper of the Stars,
    http://www.wallpaperofthestars.com
    Description: actor and actress wallpapers

    Games 2 Wallpapers
    http://www.games2wallpapers.com
    Description: Video game Wallpapers

    Movies 2 wallpapers

    OK, wasn't gonna put this in here, but I get mine from www.garfield.com. I check the daily comic and when I find one I like, I put it on as the desktop :)

    Stupid question -------- Am running WinXPHome.

    Where is the file located on my hard disc to save the downloaded images to?

    I want to be able to rotate them occasionally.

    Thanks.

    Off hand Gensu the folder for the default wallpapers is C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper

    I dont auto rotate them, I just have a separate folder on a 2nd HD for Wallpapers and browse to it from Desktop > Backgrounds if and when I feel like a change.

    I have downloaded and it seems to go where it's supposed to without my input (thank heaven) Right click on your desktop and under desktop tab they should all be there. I hope thats what you meant:eek:
