Tip: Locate your current wallpaper on Win10

September 11, 2019 12:31:55 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums

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

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.

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:
