Vista - Vista file question

Recently installed Vista.
I tried to save some background jpg imaes to C:\windows\Web\Wallpaper and
got this popup "Cannot save C:\windows \Web\Wallpaper xxx.jpg this is a
read only file."What I think what is happenind is it is trying to save the
wallpaper file as it is a read only file.I have tried uncheckin read only in
the propeerties but no joy.I know it'ds not the graphicd program I'm using
'cause I have the same thing on a seperate XP disk .Any info-help is
appreciated

origional poster; there are ways to reproduce the same photo (.jpeg) and
save it to your computer but that's another thing entirely.

You probably don't have permission to copy files to that folder.
But you don't need to.
Just create a folder under C:\Users\youraccount\Pictures
name it Wallpaper
copy the images there.

When you go to select a desktop background (right-click on the Desktop,
select Personalize, Desktop Background),
just navigate to that folder. It will remember several picture locations,
in case you want to change it later.
