How do I use some of these fabulous lock screen images as my backgrounds? These are awesome looking on my Surface Book but I can't seem to locate them on my hard drive.
Solved Lock Screen Images

You will find those images (and more) here:
%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager_cw5n1h2txyewy\LocalState\Assets
Do not add or delete files from this folder (unknown effects if you do). The files are .jpg images, though the filetype does not reveal that.
To make copies for your own use:
1) Browse to the folder above
2) Copy all files
3) Create a new folder somewhere, and paste all files there.
4) While browsing within your new folder with Windows Explorer, use the the 'File' menu to open a command prompt as an Administrator.
5) Run this command: ren *.* *.jpg
Tip: Sort by size

Agreed.
p.s. Be careful using commands with *.*. Make sure you are in the right folder.

I couldn't get rename *.* *.jpg to work for me. It kept giving me an error so I reverted back to my DOS days and tried ren *.* *.jpg and it worked like a charm.

Remember: There is no undo for this command. If you execute it in the wrong folder, you will be sad.
