I know others have posted about this problem before, but none of the answers I've found has solved this problem.

When I open Display Properties, and go to the Desktop tab, it lists EVERY SINGLE PICTURE I have on my computer, NOT JUST the pictures in the My Pictures folder. This includes pictures I have on completely separate hard drives, apart from the drive that has the Windows Install and the My Documents folder. It even lists pictures that are rooted deep in subfolders, and even pictures that are hidden!

Is there anyway to keep the Display Properties from listing every single picture, without having to delete the offending pictures? Is there a way to limit the Desktop list to just the pictures I have in the My Pictures folder? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

I even had scanned documents there too.
I created another folder in My Documents that has a name with no word of pictures in the name.
eg: Scanned Docs
Moved all pics to that folder.

That did it.
