desktop backround /my pictures

[Guest]

Everything that is in My Pictures is automatically sent to my desktop
backround for a choice as a wallpaper.I've read some of the threads but no
luck so far.I have a Dell Dimension 8250 that I had this problem when I first
uploaded pictures from my digital camera.I fixed the problem there but don't
remember what I did.Now I have this problem on my laptop.Whatever I did the
first time wasn't as comprhensive as what I am reading to correct the
problem.Any Ideas?

The reason you're having such problems is that you are using the web
interface to read this newsgroup--it's the slowest, clunkiest, most
error-prone method there is. Do yourself a favor and switch to a newsreader,
such as Outlook Express, which comes with Windows.

All you need to do is create a new folder in your regular My Documents
for the pictures you don't want to automatically appear in the desktop
background list. Then when you want to use one of your pictures as the
background, go to Display and then browse for the picture.
