If you've ever had the perfect wallpaper and then lost it by accidentally clicking "Use Image on Desktop" on some logo or crappy picture, then Opera is the browser for you. You could use its search history to go back and find the wallpaper, or you could use Google to help you find it. But if you've ever lost the perfect wallpaper, you've probably had it for so long that you can no longer remember what query to use to find it again. Instead, dive into your profile directory. Opera saves your wallpapers for you!

This will vary by installation, but jump into your \profile\skin directory, and you should find all your wallpapers ever set by Opera. It's a little piece of mind to know that your wallpaper isn't totally gone. If you frequently change your Opera-set wallpapers and you're hurting for hard drive space, you may want to take this opportunity to clear out this directory, as the bmp files can be rather large. For most people, the several megabytes of wallpapers are a drop in the bucket to their 80+ gigabyte harddrives.
