use search window to find the pictures 'name'.

They should be in C:\Windows as *.BMP files

Bliss, Stonehenge, Soap Bubbles etc.

The generic ones that come with Windows are BMP files in the Windows folder
and JPG files in the Windows\Web\Wallpaper folder

You change it actually at Control Panel - Display - Background.

The pictures are kept in Windows\Web\Wallpaper
