Hello

In Windows 7 and Windows 8, you can find out where your current desktop background wallpaper is located e.g. in my win8, my desktop background is stored here

C:\Users\Jason\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Themes\TranscodedWallpaper


In Windows 7 (or here), the lock screen similarly had a path

%windir%\System32\oobe\info\backgrounds\backgroundDefault.jpg

(which is activated after a little reg tweek (see links)). If that jpg was changed, the lock screen image changed.


Now (!), does anyone know if there is a similar path for the windows 8 lock screen?
