Old wallpaper hung on logon/logoff

I've been racking my brain over this issue for a small while now..i'm a fairly good geek and even i couldn't figure out how to fix this. The previous owner of this computer had a porn picture on the desktop set as wallpaper, so of course i changed it. However, even though it's not on the desktop any longer, i still see the picture pop up when logging out of Windows, and when logging in. It's like the picture is hung halfway and i can't figure out how to make it go away. Is there anyone out there who knows how to clear this problem? I would very greatly appreciate it..thanks for your time. ~Piro~

Guess, He probably set it with IE. If so it would be in the Microsoft,  IE Folder, 
in Application Data Folder of the User account. You could also try to just set a 
New Wallpaper from Internet Explorer, and it would overwrite the old Porn Picture 
if we are on the right track.

I was wondering if you ever found a solution to this problem? I'm having the same issue.
