Answer 4

Go to the start menu, then the control panel. Click on the display icon and then the desktop tab. You will have several choices there, but you can also click the browse button and choose any picture or image you have saved on your computer.  Also when you go to save a picture from somewhere and you right click, you have the option to save that as your desktop picture.  ;-)

Oops, I answered this before reading your whole question. I hope I can edit this here. So it should be at the bottom of the choices after clicking the desktop tab on the display icon.  Just scroll to the bottom to find it.

Answer 5

Well, if you haven't stored it, you really need to download it again.

anyway, for your default wallpapers in XP, you can find it at

C:\WINDOWS\Web\Wallpaper

good luck!
