Go to C:\Windows\WEB\WALLPAPER\Windows, where you will find the background image - it's a file named img0.jpg (note that it's in fact a BMP).Right-click your desktop and select Personalize.Also, you will need to download TakeOwnership.zip, as you'll need it to eventually change the background. This has to be done the same way each time when you want to change the background, and only the "Fit screen" choice will actually work. Here is a way to change the desktop background to what you want. Notice how choosing an image doesn't change the wallpaper: Sure, the daisies wallpaper is cute and all, but I'm more of an outer space guy. This seems like a trivial problem, but nothing that I've tried has been successful. I found this thread after a quick Google search which tells me to delete a file called TranscodedWallpaper, but, after doing that, when I try to change the theme or background, it'll once again revert to the "Windows" theme and then the file I just deleted gets recreated. If I attempt to choose another built-in theme such as "Earth" or "Flowers", it will also revert to the "Windows" theme. I can modify the theme's color, sounds, and screen saver, but when I try to change the background, it will automatically revert to the "Windows" theme. I can't use a custom image or one of the built-in images. However, I am only able to change my wallpaper to either a solid color, or the default flowers picture. ![]() I recently purchased Windows 8 Pro and installed it with no problems.
