bitmap

i am trying to find a bitmap image. it shows up in certain programs, leading
me to believe it's on the desktop, but i cannot get at the file directly to
delete. searches for .bmp extension don't work, nor does searching by the
name.
any idea?

Details???

Where do you see this bitmap image?
What is the name of the image?
Can you post a screenshot showing the image?
Is it just an image or does clicking this image do something?

Re: bitmap

thanks, ronnie
i think i might have figured it out finally.
the image was not visible on the desktop -- no shortcut, anyway, was visible
-- but it showed up when i was on facebook trying to add photos to an
existing photo album. when you clicked on "add photos," a box opened up with
a menu defaulting to the desktop, and it appeared there, alone with other
images that do appear on my desktop.
by clicking on the image, it brought up a windows photo gallery that did
allow me to delete it. i hope it's gone permanently. it was not the kind of
image i want my kids to see, if you get my drift.

Re: bitmap

Those types of pictures are always the hardest to delete. <G>

Glad you were successful.
