what are the criteria for quality standards? or... how do i get SU to accept my question.

It seems a rather silly question to ask, but i'm attempting to ask a question on the location of wallpaper files on windows XP. As always, i've explicitly stated my OS, very specifically spelled out my problem, and have avoided most of the pitfalls i expect a bad question to have.

Its a clear, non argumentative question which has an objective simple answer. It gets rejected for "It does not meet our quality standards."

I quote the question below (and no, please do not answer it here - I don't want to sneak in my question by stealth. I want to know where i am going wrong as to make it a better question) and wonder.. why is it failing the quality standards, and how can i make it better.

I run windows XP and I have a image whose original i can't find that got reset as the wallpaper.I have backups of the system itself - so if i knew where to look, i could find a copy.

I have some idea of the original filename (searching now), and i recall it saves it as a bitmap, but an exact location would be helpful

I tried "where does windows store its wallpaper" and "Location windows stores its wallpaper" as title
