You can r/click My Computer on desktop, L/click explore, click (C then click Windows in that drop down, look at the bottom of that and click WEB, click the web icon and you will see wallpaper, L/click it and you will see all your wallpaper thats installed in the r/window. R/click what you don't want and delete it, or you can copy and save to a new folder.

The MyPictures folder is in the path for wallpaper.
The solution here is to put the pics in a sub folder and not directly in the my pictures folder or to put them in a different folder all together.

IE, instead of puttin porn.jpg in
C:\Documents and Settings\Matsui\My Documents\My Pictures
as
C:\Documents and Settings\Matsui\My Documents\My Pictures\porn.jpg
you put it in a sub folder
C:\Documents and Settings\Matsui\My Documents\My Pictures\Porn\Nastypics\porn.jpg

or you create a new folder in my documents and put it there
C:\Documents and Settings\Matsui\My Documents\Porn\Nastypics\porn.jpg

Then it will not show up in your wallpaper choices.

Hi I just went back into the forums to ask another question about another problem and I saw your answer to my desktop problem .I realise how it may look to some people but I am not interested in porn my problem is I am a novice on the PC and I signed up to tech support for what the program is supposed to be about support! and just to make it perfectly clear I am in my seventies and most of my sexual equipment has also retired do to prostate problems so as I said I am not interested in porn,and by the way tho photos were my grandsons graduation and my grandchildren.D,Brogan [Matsui 55]

No explanations needed and I was not implying that this was the actual name.
I see this a lot with people who get a digital camera and it defaults to their my pictures folder, so suddenly they have wallpaper choices of DSC00001.jpg through DSC00100.jpg or something similarly overwhelming.
The source or name is unimportant; it is the path that matters.
Why Microsoft felt that all pictures should go to MyPictures by default and also that MyPictures should be in default path for wallpaper is beyond me; I like it simple.
But it falls into the whole "Windows likes you to be organized" line where they expect you to know that you should create folders within folders and make trees of things and keep stuff separate and organized.
So in your case move the pics from MyPictures to
C:\Documents and Settings\Matsui\My Documents\My Pictures\Grandchildren\graduation\2008\DSC001.jpg (through DSC100 or whatever)



Regarding prostrate problems, let me recommend Saw Palmetto extract. It is marvelous and cheap. Relieves the swelling and pain, which comes with age. I take one every day, along with Resveratrol to keep my veins and arteries soft and flexible (keep blood pressure down) and MSM to keep my bursitis from flaring and Omega Comples (fish flax and borage oil) to keep my good cholesterol up and my bad down. My grandchildren aren't quite ready to graduate; but they are teenagers so I know what you are talking about.
