removing photo files from desktop backgrounds
I saved a bunch of pictures to My Documents, and recently went to change the desktop background, and there were all those pictures! When I right-click on my desktop, and choose Properties, and then choose desktop, there's like a hundred Adobe icons there ~ how do I get rid of them? There's no delete or remove option at all.

Hi Cykeprof . If that was me i would have a look in the windows wallpaper folder.

Vista & Win 7 .Look in Windows - Web - Wallpaper

Xp . C:\Documents and Settings -your user name - Local Settings - Application Data - Microsoft.

If your not sure don't delete anything Dude044

I guess I need more specific directions. How do I get to C:/ and all the rest of that? Or the wallpaper folder...I don't know where that is, either.
