Windows XP fetches the image files from the following paths:
BMP Files from %Systemroot% (Windows folder)
BMP, JPG, GIF, JPE, DIB, PNG, HTM files from the following locations:
%Systemroot%\Web\Wallpaper
%USERPROFILE%\My Documents\My Pictures
%AppData%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer
%Programfiles%\Plus!\Themes
If you want to clear a file from that list, move the file away from the
above locations. Type each of the above paths in RUN dialog.
