I would like to delete a number of backgrounds but have
been unable to figure it out. Does anyone have any ideas?
P.S. The delete function does not work the same way as it
does for the "themes".
 
Hi Denise,

Look for BMP and JPG files in the Windows folder and the
Windows\Web\Wallpaper folder.

The pictures that show up under display properties, desktop are located in
these folders:

C:\Documents and Settings\user name\My Documents\My Pictures
C:\WINDOWS\Web\Wallpaper
C:\Windows\Resources\Themes
 
Denise,

In addition to Kelly's advice:

For background tab:

XP fetches the BMP files from C:\WINDOWS



BMP, JPG, GIF, JPE, DIB, PNG, HTM

C:\WINDOWS\WEB\WALLPAPER



BMP, JPG, GIF, JPE, DIB, PNG, HTM

C:\Documents and Settings\<USER NAME>\My Documents\My Pictures



BMP, JPG, GIF, JPE, DIB, PNG, HTM

C:\Documents and Settings\<USER NAME>\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer



BMP, JPG, GIF, JPE, DIB, PNG, HTM

C:\Program Files\Plus!\Themes


If you have the image files located in the above locations, move them to another folder.
