Display Properties

How to I remove an image from the background list? I selected a saved image
and chose "Set as Desktop Background" as a test. Now it's on the background
list and I don't know how to delete it. I checked under wallpapers, but only
1/4 of Window's wallpapers are there. It's really urgent because it's an
image I want to delete immediately. Like I said, I was only doing it as a
test.

Delete or move the original file. Or select another one.

The image should be saved in C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper. You can delete it
from there.

I hope she looked good as a wallpaper

For the Display Properties Background tab, Windows XP fetches the image
files from the following locations:

BMP Files from %Systemroot% folder. This is usually C:\Windows

BMP, JPG, GIF, JPE, DIB, PNG, HTM files from the following locations:

a.. %Systemroot%\Web\Wallpaper
b.. %USERPROFILE%\My Documents\My Pictures (& sub-folders)
c.. %AppData%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer
d.. %ProgramFiles%\Plus!\Themes (& sub-folders)
If you want to clear a file from that list, move the file away from the
above locations. Type the above paths in Start, Run dialog.
