A theme is a combination of desktop background pictures, window colors, and sounds. To get a theme, expand one of the categories below, select a link for the theme, and then select Open. This saves the theme to your PC and puts it on your desktop. See Personalize your PC to learn more.
I plugged in a thumb drive to my pc, right-clicked on an image, and chose 'Set as desktop background'. The thumb drive was subsequently stolen. Windows obviously creates a copy on the image since it remains as the desktop background even after the thumb drive is removed. My question is, where exactly is this file stored?
The images don't have an extension but paint will open them. The larger files are the wallpapers. Copy the ones you want to another folder and add .jpg. List by date so you know when you get new ones.
Important: If you use your Chromebook at work or school, your administrator might not let you change your wallpaper. If you can't change your wallpaper, contact your administrator for more help.
Bliss, originally titled Bucolic Green Hills, is the default computer wallpaper of Microsoft's Windows XP operating system. It is a virtually unedited photograph of a green hill and blue sky with white clouds in the Los Carneros American Viticultural Area of California's Wine Country. Charles O'Rear took the photo in January 1996 and Microsoft bought the rights in 2000. It is estimated that billions of people have seen the picture, possibly making it the most viewed photograph in history.[1]
Former National Geographic photographer Charles O'Rear, a resident of the nearby Napa Valley, took the photo on film with a medium-format Mamiya RZ67 camera while on his way to visit his girlfriend in 1996. While it was widely believed later that the image was manipulated or even created with software such as Adobe Photoshop, O'Rear says it never was.[2][3] He sold it to Westlight for use as a stock photo titled Bucolic Green Hills.[4] Westlight was bought by Corbis in 1998, who digitized its best selling images.[5] Two years following the acquisition, Microsoft's design team selected images to be used as wallpapers in Windows XP. The image would eventually be chosen as the default wallpaper, resulting in the company acquiring the image and renaming it to Bliss.
In 2000, Microsoft's Windows XP development team contacted O'Rear through Corbis, which he believes they used instead of larger competitor Getty Images, also based in Seattle, because the former company is owned by Microsoft founder Bill Gates.[17] "I have no idea what [they] were looking for," he recalls. "Were they looking for an image that was peaceful? Were they looking for an image that had no tension?"[18] Another image of O'Rear's titled Full Moon over Red Dunes, known as Red moon desert in Windows XP, was also considered as the default wallpaper, but was changed due to testers comparing it to buttocks.[19]
Microsoft said they wanted not just to license the image for use as XP's default wallpaper, but to buy all the rights to it. They offered O'Rear what he says is the second-largest payment ever made to a photographer for a single image; however, he signed a confidentiality agreement and cannot disclose the exact amount.[20] It has been reported to be "in the low six figures."[1] O'Rear needed to send Microsoft the original film and sign the paperwork; however, when couriers and delivery services became aware of the value of the shipment, they declined since it was higher than their insurance would cover. Instead, the software company bought O'Rear a plane ticket and he personally delivered it to their offices.[1] "I had no idea where it was going to go," he said. "I don't think the engineers or anybody at Microsoft had any idea it would have the success it's had."[21]
Did you know you can create a custom slideshow background in Windows 10? This customization makes it easy for you to make your computer feel more like your own. If you want to take it a step further, you can utilize this feature for setting up a slideshow with positive affirmations for boosting productivity and aid in dealing with stress at work.
So let's build a system for positivity through a personalized Windows 10 computer slideshow background with positive affirmations. And if you have multiple screens (I use three), then you will see a different motivational quote on each screen.
I prefer 30 minutes. Since I like to marinate on messages over a period of time anyway. Besides, I usually always have one of my monitors under-utilized and don't want to be distracted with a rapidly changing background while I work.
2. Hold down the Ctrl key and click the different wallpapers you want to use. If you have two monitors, select two different wallpapers, if you have three monitors, select three different wallpapers, and so forth.
4. You should now see different wallpapers on each of your monitors. If you want to switch the wallpaper on any specific monitor, right-click on the desktop and select Next desktop background.
Note: If you do not see different wallpapers on each of your monitors, or if you see different wallpapers but they're cycling through pictures at an alarming rate, you may need to change your wallpaper settings.
From the Desktop Background window, you can also set wallpapers for each monitor -- simply find the picture you want to use, right-click it, and select Set for monitor 1 (or whichever monitor you want to set it for).
If you are asked to deploy to a specific wallpaper in your organization, then group policy will be one of your choice. Note that there are many other ways to deploy wallpaper. In this post we will see the easiest way to configure desktop wallpaper using group policy.
To enable this setting click Enabled. The wallpaper name should be set to either local path of the image or it can be UNC path. Set the wallpaper style as Fill. This will work best with most screen resolutions. Click Apply and OK.
On the client machine wait for the policy to get updated. The users may have to log off and login once to see the changed desktop wallpaper. In the below screenshot we see that desktop wallpaper policy settings have been successfully applied.
My wallpaper policy is working fine in domain network but goes black when gets disconnected from the domain network and my customer wants common wallpaper should be working in cache even they connect from different network
can we set .mp4 wallpaper from regedit or local group policy editor i mean to say without install any third party software by just edting or removing windows defult .jpg file format wallpaper into .mp4 file format wallpaper is their any process of its ???
I have different situation, we set wallpaper through GPO using registry hive. It applied and working fine and allow user to change his desktop background. user able to change background but it policy reapplied when reboot machine.
What I did in this scenario is, I created a seperate GPO to copy the desktop background to a public folder on the local machine and updated the desktop background GPO to that path, instead of directing them to a network folder that they may or may not have access to at certain times. This way every time they log in, the background file is always available to the users.

I have successfully deployed on windows 7 computers. But with windows 10 computers there are some computers that are not working, even though the image file was copied successfully on that machine.
Please help me fix this, thank you very much.
I compiled a list of the default Windows XP desktop background wallpapers. XP was everywhere when I was getting my start on the web. Windows XP & its lovable desktop backgrounds helped shape the designer I am today, much the way the house in which I grew up shaped my personality.
The studio builds upon a background in 2D graphic design, with tools and knowledge acquired during university years that involved learning how to work with colors, typographies, shapes, etc. But in late 2010, they shifted their focus to 3D art. In the process they realized that several hours of extra work would yield results close to reality.
You select a picture, slideshow, or color for your Windows desktop background in the Settings window. Select Personalization > Background, then pull down the Background list and select the type of background image you want: Picture, Solid color, or Slideshow. Windows should now display the picture, color, or slideshow you selected.
