Desktop Background Images
All images (1,000+) in "My Pictures" are being included in the list of available backgrounds in the Display Properties dialog box, Backgrounds tab. This makes the Background tab very slow in appearing. How can I prevent these images from being included?

This problem only occured recently, though I so not remember exactly when. Is there a way to exclude "My Pictures" from being included in the background images list? Moving the pictures to another folder is not preferred since it removes some of the features available in the default folder such as slideshow and filmstrip viewing.Message Edited by trush on 11-28-2004 11:48 PM

trush,
Any image in the My Pictures folder will appear in the list of wallpaper images. The contents of any folder which contains images can be viewed as a film strip or as a slide show. This capability is not restricted to the My Pictures folder. Film strip can be selected from the Display menu in Windows Explorer. Slide show can be selected from Picture Tasks.

Trush,
Make a folder on your hard drive, name it what you want and move them there.
