Desktop background list


Recommended Posts

With XP SP2, the Desktop background list (Control Panel | Display | Desktop), includes all the images on the hard drive. That is a lot of images by default. Is there anyway to disable searching the entire drive, or specifying the folders it looks in?

EDIT: Now that I look at it, I think it doesn't include the entire hard drive, but it does include the "My Pictures" folder, which I have a lot of images in. Is there a way to specify it doesn't look in there?
