Wallpaper Question

Under Desktop Properties/Desktop/Background

I'm running Winxp Home Edition (Version 2002) w/SP2

I noticed the list of available wallpaper include all 2000 of my personal
shots stored in "My Pictures". Can I removed that directory from the
available list?

Thanks

TweakUI for XP: Unchecking "Lock Web Content" under Explorer to be
added to desktop disables the pictures from being listed.

Workarounds:

Create another folder (under your user profile), remove the pictures
from My Pictures that you don't want listed under Backgrounds and in
the My Pictures folder, create a shortcut to the new folder.
