You can find registry keys refering to wallpaper in: HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop there is also a key called backup wallpaper at: HKCU\software\microsoft\Internet Explorer\Desktop\General Those are the best areas to check. You may want to do a search of the registry using the term wallpaper, and see if anything odd comes up.
