Stop XP from looking in MY PICTURES for desktop background

R

Richard in AZ

Does anyone know a registry key, or other, link to stop the computer from looking in the My Pictures
folder for wallpaper?

Once you click browse and look for a wallpaper in the My Documents folder, all the graphics in the
My Picture folder becomes listed in the available wallpaper. I would like it to once again look
only in the default folder C:\windows\web\wallpaper.

Thanks.

Well, the search function in my WinXP Pro is set to search both of my HDDs,
in this case, my C and E drives. Perhaps you can limit your search to drive
C?
