Bearing in mind that security, in a test build, it not much of a priority, I , when I get stuck like that, open the security and change the ownership to "everyone", and then add it and give myself full permissions.
It looks like the path I posted is a retainer folder only.
I found Brink's 8.1 tutorial:
Lock Screen Default Background Image - Change in Windows 8
The program it links to is not compatible, but I worked through the manual method. 100%. ! I now have several of my own pictures as a choice.
W10 refused to do it.
W10 wouldn't perform the changes (enumeration error) even though I changed the:
- Owner (tried Administrators, Users and myself)
- Permissions to "Full Control" (Note: Administrators & Users were already set to that anyway)
- Child Objects propagation
The "broken" files were already jpgs.
I copied one out of the location and tried to view it, but I received the same error message (invalid header).
Not without going back into LM17.1 (I'm in W7 at the moment).
I'll try again later (if I remember). :)
I'll also try the other location that you mentioned.
I did that once in one of the W7 betas because "Trusted Installer" was working me over.
It totally hosed the install.

I tried setting the permission again and this time I succeeded, despite the constant barrage of error messages.
It was even more of an ordeal than setting permissions in Linux.
The "C:\<blah>\LocalState\Assets" location seems to be the right place.
I can see the new Lock Screen picture (the one I replaced) and a couple of other interesting ones.
