What is your OS? If Windows, then you might retrieve it from the recycle bin. Also, the "cut" option is very close to the "send to" option on the right button pop-up. If you "cut" it, you can always "paste" it back.
The only place I could find it was in the display properties for backgrounds. I THOUGHT I was sending a COPY via e-mail to a friend, but it deleted it from the background on his desktop and when I went back to display properties it was no longer listed in the background list. I know it HAS so be in there somewhere, but I can't find it.
We use Win98.
Appreciate all the help, folks!
