It seems that every photo I have saved has ended up as a choice when I change my desktop background. How do I edit and delete items in the desktop background choices
If you are using Windows XP, the wallpaper files are taken from images located in C:\Windows, C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper, and My Pictures. If you delete the images there or move them to another folder, they will no longer be listed in the choices as wallpaper.
