If you have Windows 10's default, Spotlight feature enabled, your lock screen shows gorgeous images courtesy of Microsoft. Some of these high-quality photos are nature shots while others are pictures of great cities around the world. The pictures rotate several times a day, but what if you see an image you like and want to keep a copy of it on your laptop? Windows keeps these Windows 10 lock screen photos buried deep in a hidden directory, but with a bit of digging, you can find them, save them and even use them as desktop wallpaper.
Here's how to find Windows 10's Spotlight lock screen images:

Go to This PC > Local Disk (C:) > Users > [YOUR USERNAME] > AppData > Local > Packages > Microsoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager_cw5n1h2txyewy > LocalState > Assets
You'll be presented with a plethora of file names that make absolutely no sense and show no extensions. There's no great method of telling which ones are beautiful photos and which are icons, but you're better off clicking on items with larger file sizes.
Copy the image to a new location, and change the desktop background to that image.
Those looking for an easy-to-use, free, and powerful disc burning
application with all the essential tools will find AnyBurn 5.0 is a
great choice – particularly for older PCs given its minimal system
requirements.
For
Flexibility and ease of use
Minimal hardware requirements
Impressively fast performance
Decent online tutorials provided
Against
Does not support drag and drop for files
Does not copy multisession discs
AnyBurn 5.0
is a robust disc burning app that’s flexible and easy to use, not to
mention well-supported (running on Windows XP or better – not that you
should still be using that particular version of Windows, as it’s a long
way out of support now).
AnyBurn is freeware, and proof of the
old adage that good things come in small packages – another plus point
here is that the app is light on system resources. It also benefits from
an intuitive interface.
Features
AnyBurn
5.0 benefits from a well-designed interface: a simple yet engaging
traditional Windows-based UI that does not require the user to have any
special tech knowledge. The software installation procedure is easy and
hassle-free.
AnyBurn
presents all of its features in a separate pane, from which you can
select and perform disc burning tasks. You can easily select the burning
speed and the target drive. The settings allow you to verify the
written data, finalize the disc, and eject it after burning.
You
can use the AnyBurn software to burn files to a disc, copy a disc, or
erase a rewritable disc, or even to create an image file from other
files or discs. You can also easily convert images to ISO or BIN/CUE and
view the disc or drive properties. Ripping an audio CD is also
available for MP3, FLAC, APE, WAM, and WAV formats.
The ability to create backups to discs – whether CD, DVD or Blu-ray – is also provided.
As
we’ve already touched on, one of the best features of this application
is that it doesn’t demand much in the way of your PC’s resources, using
up little of your CPU’s precious power, and consuming hardly anything in
the way of memory either. The system requirements are extremely low,
and AnyBurn is capable of running on an old Intel Pentium 166MHz with
only 64MB of memory.
The program is generally responsive and tasks are completed swiftly.
Support
The application comes with support for eight languages: English, French, Polish, Chinese, Italian, Japanese, German and Spanish.
These
are a series of tutorials in text form on the AnyBurn website
describing the application’s standard functions in detail. These include
text-based tutorials on burning audio CDs from various file formats,
ripping audio CDs to multiple formats, and even creating bootable USB
drives for Windows 7/8/10. You can also get information on the AnyBurn
command line functions and their use from these tutorials.
For any
software-related complaints or queries, users can send a message to
support@anyburn.com. There’s also a contact form on the official
website, and the AnyBurn team promises to reply via email as soon as
possible.
Final verdict
AnyBurn
5.0 is a robust CD/DVD burner which is free and commendably
user-friendly. It allows you to perform a host of CD and DVD burning
functions, with detailed tutorials provided online. AnyBurn’s developers
seem vigilant enough to work on any user grievances and to modify the
app and interface as necessary in respect to the feedback they receive.
