Hi........any idea how to stop every single jpg on my computer being
displayed in the "Display Properties/Desktop/Background window? I just want it to show a single folder so that I can select a background picture from that folder, not run through the entire contents of the hard drive as I have to at the moment........... Thx Dale

Move the pics to a folder of your own making.. any pic in the default folder
becomes fair game for the desktop -- Mike Hall MS-MVP Windows Shell/User "Dale" wrote in message . ..

How can you change the default folder? My computer changed it to My
Pictures instead of Windows. Laureen "Mike Hall - MS MVP Windows Shell/User" wrote in message ...

I haven't checked, but I believe that files from "My Documents(\My Pictures)" may also be used to load the list. -- Alec S. news/alec-synetech/cjb/net
