Posted by robbier on December 1st, 2005


when i right click on my desktop and go to propertiesand go to the list of
avalible background designs, i have stuff on there i would like to delete.or
just plain get rid of. some are pixs that i thought were long deleted and
alot of stuff from web pages that i have no idea how it got there. So my
question is, how do i clean up or just delete some of this garbage?

It's a manual process. Use Windows Explore, navigate to file location
which may be in "My Documents", "My Pictures", " c:\windows" or where
ever you stored the file. Then delete.

I have the same problem but what if you only want to delete entries in the
list and not the actual file ?? How do you go about it ?
