Where does Win7 keep user desktop backgrounds?

I have a friend with a Win7 machine that is being decommissioned, and he doesn't have a seperate backup of the picture that is the desktop background. Where is this file located? Back in the olden days, Windows would rename and/or copy it to some system folder. But seeing as how this is a per-user setting, it's got to be in the user directories somewhere, doesn't it?

Nevermind, I found a copy of it in his pictures directory. I don't know why he missed it when he was copying pics off of the HD before we decommissioned it.

It's somewhere in "C:\Users\Username\Appdata\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\" or "C:\Users\Username\Appdata\Local\Microsoft\Windows".

Or, anywhere you choose to put them. Mine are on an external drive.
