In which folder are desktop wallpapers / screen savers located?

Update:

By default.

Update 2:

I'm asking about Desktop themes and wallpapers which come with windows.

Update 3:

The search option does not work, if you can name the folder (if it does exist!) that'll be great. I found out themes exist in C:\WINDOWS\Resources\1033....

but the screensavers? Anyone out there who knows?

Update 4:

Thanks zubairwaqas, I can browse for scr but there is no "browse" option for locating any picture as destop wallpaper. I have to right click on the image to make it desktop wallpaper, which is the other way round.

    Well, most likely it's kind of hardware problem which means that you should go back to the seller as long as the computer still under warranty. Anyway, what you can do is to restore Windows 7 to some safe restore point. Go to Run and then type: msconfig then go to Restore to earlier point. Also, you have another option, you can restore the entire computer using provided restore CDs. But, note that you should do a backup for your files ahead. Good Luck!

    by default the wallpapers are saved in the following

    c:\windows\

    c:\document and setting\(user name)\my documents\my pictures\

    Screen savers are saved in

    c:\windows\

    by the extension .scr

    the themes are located

    C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes

    note: u can bring a wallpaper or screen saver from any path just right click on desktop and use browse to locat it and will will work fine

    desktop wallpapers can be wherever you want. if you are looking for a specific one then use the search tool on the windows start menu and type the file name.
