Use Windows search to locate the WALLPAPER directory (folder), and delete
individual files if you wish. They will be in RECYCLE BIN, in case you
need to restore.

Hi,

The pictures that show up under display properties, desktop are located in
these folders:

C:\Documents and Settings\user name\My Documents\My Pictures
C:\WINDOWS\Web\Wallpaper
C:\Windows\Resources\Themes

Type in Start Run
"%userprofile%\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer"


Under My Computer scroll down to Shared Documents/Shared Pictures. If
Shared Pictures is listed, remove it.

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. Or create subfolders within My
Pictures.

Add Folders to the "Save As" Dialog (Places Bar) Line 117

Disable Default Save As to My Pictures (Line 263)

Add Folder to Start Menu to replace/re-route My Pictures (Line 2)

To use the Regedit: Save the REG File to your hard disk. Double click it
and answer yes to the import prompt. REG files can be viewed in Notepad by
right clicking on the file and selecting Edit.

Hello,
In order for your picture will not appear as your
wallpaper, is to cut the picture and transfer it into
another location then change your background into none.

Make a new folder in your My Documents folder for pictures. Don't store
them in My Pictures. Move the ones that are in My Pictures to your new
folder.

Which of course destroys the whole idea behind 'My Pictures'. But I
don't seem to be able to get MSoft to recognise the point
