these folders: C:\Documents and Settings\user name\My Documents\My Pictures C:\WINDOWS\Web\Wallpaper C:\Windows\Resources\Themes Another checkpoint: Also, go to: Start/Run then type in: "%userprofile%\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer" To hide and/or remove/relocate: Under My Computer scroll down to Shared Documents/Shared Pictures. If Shared Pictures is listed, remove it. TweakUI for XP: Unchecking "Lock Web Content" under Explorer to be added to desktop disables the pictures from being listed. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp Workarounds: Create another folder (under your user profile), remove the pictures from My Pictures that you don't want listed under Backgrounds and in the My Pictures folder, create a shortcut to the new folder. Or create subfolders within My Pictures. Add Folders to the "Save As" Dialog (Places Bar) Line 117 http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm Disable Default Save As to My Pictures (Line 263) http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm Add Folder to Start Menu to replace/re-route My Pictures (Line 2) http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm To use the Regedit: Save the REG File to your hard disk. Double click it and answer yes to the import prompt. REG files can be viewed in Notepad by right clicking on the file and selecting Edit. -- Show quoteHide quoteAll the Best, Kelly (MS-MVP/DTS&XP) Taskbar Repair Tool Plus! http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/taskbarplus!.htm SupportSpace www.supportspace.com/pages?aiu=kellyskorner "TiMeBoMb" <TiMeB***@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:9D8B9A9F-EE7E-4C69-8615-A60A7897B2A2@microsoft.com... >I had this same issue.
