They were cute! I liked looking at them! But I also never took into account the fact that sometimes - increasingly, in fact - other people look at your phone, too, and those people also have opinions. I, too, have chosen photos of boyfriends as my lock screen without giving it much thought. Personally, I think this choice is a perfectly fine one. It is also why other people pick a photo of their significant others.

This is why I choose to adorn that space with a photograph of Harry Styles wearing tweed trousers and a sweater with a giant “H” on it. All you need to do is to copy it to a more permanent location.Of all the things we stare at during the day, the one we turn to the most is the same for many of us: the filthy, fingerprint-stained screen of our tiny pocket computers. The next time a great image pops up at your lock screen, you know where to find it on your computer. There are 3 folders containing these images:

The default images for Windows 10 you see at your first login are located under C:\Windows\Web. All you have to do is to scroll through them and find the one you want to keep. With that little change Windows recognises those files as images. If you see no such files, make sure that your Windows File Explorer shows hidden items.Ĭopy the newest images to a different folder and add. The images are not recognisable as such when you open the folder: The quickly changing background and lock screen images can be found in this folder: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Packages\_cw5n1h2txyewy\LocalState\Assets (do not forget to replace USERNAME with the name you use to log-in).

Those images are stored on your computer, you only need to find them – but where? I like interesting pictures and the Spotlight images used in the lock screen of Windows 10 are often so interesting that I like to keep them for longer. Today’s post is not about software development.
