Deleting Wallpaper?

Does anyone know how to delete personal pictures from the wallpaper without deleting from the My Pictures file. I've been trying to figure it out and when I delete from wallpaper it automatically deletes fropm my picturers file.

I'm using Windows XP Home Edition.

How exactly are you deleting the personal picture from the wallpaper?

3. Browse

4. Delete

Ok... if you are browsing this is not part of the wallpapers this is actually your explorer... so you are actually deleting the file and not the wallpaper entry in the wallpaper listing.

The only method I'm aware of to remove the wallpaper listing is to move the file to an alternate location. Open your wallpaper listing and it will no longer be listed. Once it is no longer listed you can move it back to its original location.

If any users are familiar with an alternate method and/or a utility that enables a user to customize their wallpaper listings please feel free to post it.

Personal wallpapers are stored in the folder My Pictures so just go in to the folder find the file and move it to another location. The same apply`s for new pictures just save the file in my pictures and it will appear in the display for the desktop
