Is there a way to choose what folders are and aren't included in the Background list in display properties? Suddenly my entire My Pictures is now available to choose from, opposed to the normal list of just the default MS backgrounds that come with the computer. Thanks

No time for love, Dr. Jones!

Thanks, but is there a way to stop it from giving me all of "My Pictures" to select from, because that's well over 350 files.

Thanks. I tried that, even tried a folder completely seperate from My Pictures. Any way to remove these files from the list?

Wait. Can someone explain how to set My Pictures so that they don't go into the backgrounds?
