Hiya -- I was working with my digital camera + set one of the pictures as the background for another user on the system. After that, I mistakingly modified the image + renamed it. It still, however, shows up in its original form as the desktop background. Is there any chance that the desktop background is a particular image in the system directory? If not, then why is the background not refreshing after a cold boot? Since the image is still displaying in the original condition as the background, is there anyway that I could see it without the icons so that I could do a print screen? If anyone has any answers -- I would appreciate it!!
