Answer 1

they haven't disappeared, you just changed the directory that gets automatically opened.  You just need to find the default wallpaper directory.  I'm assuming you use windows - I don't, so I can't tell you what the directory is.  

Do a search for *.jpg.  It'll give you a bunch of results, but might give you a clue to where they are also.

Answer 2

When you right click on the desktop, click browse.  Look under C:\WINNT.  They should be there.
