I found a auction site that had a picture of a car. I took a snapshot, and saved as my wallpaper page. Since doing this, my laptop is totally locked up! I can't do anything with it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you saved the wall paper via Firefox then you find it in this location:

  • %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\Desktop Background.bmp

"AppData" (XP: Application Data; Mac: ~/Library; Linux: ~/.mozilla) is a hidden folder.
