EVERY PIC I DOWLOAD GOES TO MY DESKTOP

[Guest]

I seem to have this problem that other with XP programs do not.
Everytime I click on a pic I like from the internet it goes/gets saved in,
'MY PICTURES'
Fine, I'm ok with that, if I do not want to "store" it there that small box
open that asks if I want to "store" some where else,i.e..... like my shared
photoes of, My Dog Pictures, Family Pics, Work pics....etc.
The problem lies here, if I just go ahead and just leave it in it's normal
destination, My Pictures, it also AUTOMATICALLY goes to my Desktop. The place
where it shows me which photos I would like to have as a desktop photo
(Tiles, Center, Stretch) so I'm obligated to always be erasing pics from here
and there to just remove them from the desktop photos.
Now someone has told me and I too have thought about this being somewhere as
a "Default" of My pics going to my desktop.
HEREIN LIES THE PROBLEM, lol if that is the problem I have NO IDEA on how to
go about and remove that as a 'default.'
Any help will be greatly appreciated as I have had this problem going on
it's 4th yr only because I thought all programs (XP) where as such.
Thank You once again.
Best Regards to All Fellow PC helpers to the needed.lol

The XP default is to have all pictures in your My Pictures folder listed as
available for your desktop.
The way around this is to make a different folder on your hard drive and
save your pictures in it.
