I know this is not very important, but it is a curiosity. When Windows

change frequently. Some of the photos are stunning, and I wonder where
they were taken. Is there a site or way of fining out where they were
taken?

I found a Superuser thread with the location. That part
was relatively easy. The hard part was verifying there
*was* such a place.

The ContentDeliveryManager portion of the path was
not visible in the "Packages" directory.

I had to list it via other means.

You could try CDing your way there in Command Prompt perhaps.

Once you're in the correct folder, try

explorer.exe .

and have it open a File Manager window.

That's a potential location, but good luck being
able to get the folder to appear for you. Even on the
Linux side, they didn't make it easy generating a file
list. Some stuff was "I/O Error" which is caused by
the superfluous usage of Reparse Points where we
don't need them.

The files don't have an extension, so you can try dropping
them on IrfanView or whatever. In Linux, thumbnails appear
for them. That won't happen on Windows unless you manually
a file extensions. Which requires copying the assets
somewhere else and "work on them". If you add an extension
to the files as is, that will break the presentation of the
assets at boot time.
