Tip: Locate your current wallpaper on Win10
Wednesday, September 11, 2019 by DaveRI | Discussion: Windows Discussion
I went Googling a while ago to find a way to identify the wallpaper I have loaded on Win10. I came across this, I've no idea where at this point, but I've found it helpful from time to time and thought I'd pass it along. I just typed the below into a text file, then created a shortcut to the text file in a good place. (If you can actually remember the string, well I'd be impressed. 
)
RightClick on the StartButton, select "Run", paste in the following:
shell:::{ED834ED6-4B5A-4bfe-8F11-A626DCB6A921} -Microsoft.Personalization\pageWallpaper

What happens to me is I have a wall loaded and I decide I want to tweak it or do variations of it, and darned if I can remember the name of it. Scrolling and peering through all those thumbnails got old. It's kind of a handy thing to have around, just used it today which is what reminded me I had wanted to pass it along.
Now, where did I put that flashlight, I just had it a second ago, I know it's around here somewhere...

I guess it would have been good to include a screenshot pointing out that it drops you to and highlights the wall you have loaded. May not be very obvious, especially depending on the skin a person is using:

Thanks Dave, nice to have. But I find myself trying to remember a time when I didn't know where my wallpaper is located.
Maybe there is a use for this. i'll save it just in case.
I guess it's good for opening the location of the default set of walls that come with Windows. Thanks again.
