    Hi ... I have done a search on this topic but I didn't find a answer , So my problem is I just loaded some personal pics in " My Pictures " folder and I notice that they are also being shown as background pics under the display properties / Desktop tab , How can I remove pics from there ?

    Thanks ?

    PS: Happy New Years :) to all the members of this fine forum site ....

    move them out of mypics folder basically. the default locations for possible is windows and mypics.

    i DO believe u can just create a sub folder and put them there and they'll not show unless u browse from them.

    from my observation, they appear to be 'cached' copies. so once u move them, they become phantoms. they sill 'appear' to be there but if u select them, they fail.

    and from my test, once they fail, they dissappear from the list. so ... highlight em all and hit apply or browse and they'll fail and finally go away
