Using folder/file redirect I no longer have mu %
USERPROFILE%\Dektop directory. The redirect folder is
setup for working offline. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi John,

If I am following you correctly, check your settings here:
Start/Run/Regedit

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell
Folders

In the right pane there should be a string value listed as Common Desktop
set to:
C(?):\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop

I downloaded a Xmas scene onto my desktop and now I can
not delete it, or find where it is stored. Help!

if you know the name of the file, you search for it. Click
start, search , files & folders. Search for files or
folder name the one you are searching for. Good Luck. les

Hi Brenda,

Check here: Right click your Desktop/Properties/Desktop/Customize Desktop/Web.

The pictures that show up under display properties, desktop are located in these folders:

C:\Documents and Settings\user name\My Documents\My Pictures
C:\WINDOWS\Web\Wallpaper

If that doesn't remove it, check your settings here:

Go to Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to this key:

HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop

Locate the SCRNSAVE.EXE entry in the right pane and modify it to the one you desire. SCR files are located in Windows\System32 by default, but you may have some add-on screen savers in the Windows folder.

Change Screensaver Automatically in the Registry (Line 97)
