Today I went to change my desktop background [right click-properties-desktop] and there were a TON of pictures to choose from on it. Like all of the pictures I have in "My Pictures" etc show up, where there USED to be only the ones that came on the computer [like Azul, Follow, and all the other ones.]
Does anybody know how to make the pictures that are under MY PICTURES NOT show up when I go to change my desktop background. I'm using Xp, if that makes a difference.
On the left, expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, then SOFTWARE, then Microsoft, then Windows. Select CurrentVersion.
After you've selected CurrentVersion, the list on the right will contain "WallPaperDir". Right click WallPaperDir and delete.
The deletion is saved automatically, just close the registry editor. Don't modify any other parts of the registry.
The problem should now be fixed. I don't know of any way to prevent this from happening again, but if it does you can just repeat these steps. [ theymos's advice column | Ask theymos A Question ]
