Windows 10: Windows 10 lock screen PHYSICAL image locations as in where was the photograph taken

This is not actually as question. This is more of a less for Microsoft IT people. It's an ANSWER for those seeking an answer to the question in my subject. You guys just are like some of the laziest freaks on Earth. OR you aren't very good at your jobs.


I've see 5 minutes worth of **** and I found the answer by way of my own IT experience. Since I'm in IT i have to come up with things like this. Now when you google this question you are first met with about 100 MS help or users whatever you call yourselves - assuming everyone wants to know the HDD location. Even in posts that have the SPELL-IT-OUT-VERSION if you bothered to read anything you'd know they aren't looking for that file or registry setting they are just impressed with the photography which is actually quite good and hooray Microsoft gets SOMETHING right for a change [it sure as heck ain't the change from favorites being a folder location to a stupid registry change, NOR is it the fact you still in all the years Chrome and Firefox has been around haven't been able to come up with a browser worth a buffalo bagel until Edge was just recently released, and OH thanks for shoving it down our throat already --- but yeah lock screen photography -- there's a win finally.


IF YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW TO FIND OUT WHERE A PICTURE WAS TAKEN PLEASE READ MY OWN REPLY WHICH IS THE ACTUAL ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION:

Success.

Here is the solution, but it is imperative to proceed carefully.
There are also a couple of final steps that are missing and I had to think about it.

Retrieve Custom Windows 10 Lock Screen Image - Super User

This must be done as Administrator (True Administrator account) -

You must add "Administrator" to the additional fields not listed to get through the permission issues caused by NTFS.

Edit - I'm posting the missing steps:





There's quite a bit going on here, but the important item to understand is that for each "picture" folder, you need to add yourself as Administrator.
Just click on "Select a principal" and enter Administrator as the Object Name for each folder you wish to gain access to.

Hope this helps. Thanks for your help, Shawn.

Microsoft should not have any user going through this just to find a picture. It is insanity.
