Usually thay are in the Windows directory named *.bmp, But know this that if U have saved the pictura as Wallpaper its in another direcory.
Usually c:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Internet Explorer Wallpaper.bmp

It's PRINT SCREEN for the whole Desktop Screen and whatever is open upon it

It's ALT+PRINT SCREEN for just the Active window
