How do I delete this wallpaper?
Hi, I right clicked on a picture and clicked "set as backround". I don't use the picture as a wallpaper anymore. How do I delete it from my computer? Thanks!

Actually, if you merely clicked "set as background" then it is a temporary file in Internet Explorer. The only way I am aware of deleting it is by selecting another picture from the internet and selecting that as your background.
If this is not the case try
C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper
It may be located in that folder. If it is there you can delete it with no problems.

If you set it as wallpaper from the context menu the file could be anywhere on your system. To locate it (and delete it) open Display Properties and look on the Desktop tab for the name of the image currently selected as wallpaper (call it wallfile). Select another image as wallpaper. The extension of the first image's file name will not be shown so to locate it go to Start|Search|All files and folders and look for wallfile.*. When the file is located, right-click it and select Delete.
