Got to make sure you search for all files, i.e hidden and system files (applies to XP anyway)

I cant find where windowsXP puts all the default wallpapers. Now that I look, I cant find the screensavers either. 
Probably in the same place.

To find the screensavers search the drive for *.scr 
Mine are in C:\WinNT\system32. I have Win2k though.

On XP, the default walls go in the c:\windows folder

Yeah, thats where they are supposed to be, but I cant find them anywhere in there! I know I have them, because I use them once in awhile, but I dont know where to find them.

You can try looking in C:\WINDOWS\system32, that's where mine are at. I am using XP. Or as they said above do a search for .scr files and it should show you where they are. I couldn't find one I wanted to remove once and the search found it.

All my wall papers and screansavers are in the Window folder. If you use explorer, look for the .BMP or .JPG's.

In XP make a folder for walls in the : /Windows folder, try naming it : /00_Walls or something that will keep it at the top of the folder.
Most screenies can be found in : /Windows/system 32 under XP.
You can stash walls just about anywhere you like as long as you remember the location ..... screenies are best loaded into the default folder, unless you have the option of specifying where you want them.
