Please Help With Unwanted Desktop Backgrounds


Recommended Posts

Posted

On Windows computers the computer usually looks in the

C:\windows\web\wallpaper folder for background pictures.

But since i've the "browse" option to find

a picture in say "My Pictures" folder, now the computer is look in both the "wallpaper" folder and

the "My pictures" folder. There

must be a registry change that I can make that will stop the desktop background list to stop adding pictures form My Documents.

When I right click on the desktop and open Desktop Properties. I see a list of backgrounds. And everytime I add a picture somwhere in my Documents folder it automatically adds these pictures to this list.

It's really bugging me as there are are few hundred.

I hope someone can please help me out.

P.S I don't want to rename the My pictures folder etc. I just want a simple solution e.g Registy changes etc. There has to be a solution, Thanks.

Please help me .

You really don't need help because you really don't have a problem.

The pictures have not been duplicated themselves, or anything like that.

Your computer isn't broke.

And just how often do you pick a new desktop wallpaper?

I only change mine two or three times a year.

How many pix are in the list is really "Mox Nix".

On my computer, all the desktop pictures are .bmp files only and they

are in my C:\windows\ folder.

I've deleted everything in the \windows\web\

folder. Thats a totally redundant folder.

Look in your Windows folder and see if the standard windows desktop pictures aren't there.

Cheers!
