- Re: unwanted pictures in desktop background list
- Posted by mtb2k2 on May 8th, 2006
I'm having a similar problem. Thing is that all of my pictures in "my
pictures" are showing up as available backgrounds. This started happening
the other day, and now when I right click on the desktop nothing happens or i
just get the hourglass icon. once that happens, nothing can reafresh the
display, windows leave trails, the taskbar doesn't work. THe only solution i
have is to opent he task manager, end the explorer.exe process and then
restart it under new task.

MS was the issue. Now I still have the issue of display proerties/background
showing all pictures, including those in sub folders, in "my pictures"

Run the tip #144 on the left side of Kellys-corner
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm
to clear wallpaper frequently used list.
You may have to reboot for it to become effective.
Worked for me. I used to have every picture in "my pictures" listed.
Now just the pictures in the C:\windows\web\wallpaper folder are listed.
