In Win98, I believe the wallpaper filename was stored in win.ini (it doesn't appear to be so in Win2k and this seriously isn't interesting enough for me to look it up at the moment.)

It's in the registry:

HKCU\Conrol Panel\Desktop\Wallpaper
HKCU\Conrol Panel\Desktop\TileWallpaper
HKCU\Conrol Panel\Desktop\WallpaperStyle

On: Another Serious MSIE Hole

What, you mean the OS where a kernel exploit was left unpatched for several months because people couldn't be bothered to push it out to their end users?

Specifics? Also, I wasn't aware that the kernel maintainers "pushed" updates to the end users. And here I've been, running the patches myself like a sucker.

Re:According to Bill, this is a good thing

On: Another Serious MSIE Hole

According to Microsoft software architect Chris Anderson, "Today, virus writers don't find holes," he said. "They just sit back and wait for patches to appear, and then it is a race to write the first virus. We want to get patch deployment down from days or weeks to hours."

Then he muttered under his breath, "like Linux."

Not to be a science nazi, but there's an important distinction between sci-fi-sounding "plasma" and the mundane -- but still deadly -- "very hot gas".
