I used the F3 key to find every use of the word "Wallpaper" in REGEDIT,
My Computer\HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1442361839-525557823-3019436859-1006\Control Panel\Desktop

This basically indicates that Windows Converted my JPG and stored it under another name.
Then I found the following searching the internet - for the field ConvertedWallpaper,
"I believe that any non-bmp files is converted to a bmp file and saved in D&S\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\<filename>.bmp.
The filename is stored in HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop\Wallpaper. "
I searched for a BMP file in that directory - replaced <user> with <admin> (There was only one BMP file called Wallpaper1.BMP. and it was my photo. YES!!!
