Help,
I had my screensaver set to documents/pictures.
Then in an attempt to save space I moved all my pictures to off site storage
Now, the screensaver is still showing all the old pictures
Where are these ghost pictures coming from?
Is there a way to find this file and delete most of them?

The pictures that show up under Display Properties, Desktop are located in
these folders:

C:\Documents and Settings\user name\My Documents\My Pictures
C:\WINDOWS\Web\Wallpaper
C:\Windows\Resources\Themes

Another checkpoint:

Also, go to: Start/Run then type in:
"%userprofile%\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer"

To hide and/or remove/relocate:

Under My Computer scroll down to Shared Documents/Shared Pictures. If
Shared Pictures is listed, remove it.
