actually, I just want to retrieve a lost image file...

I believe that the file has been replaced.
when i use "internet explorer" to "set background", it replace the previous
file.
Just too bad that the previous file are not thrown into the recycle bin
first. I believe that the previous image is lost.
I had even tried restoring to an earlier date.

Observe
%AppData%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer
as you set background using internet explorer.
I know that the previous image is still some where in my hard-disk.
