Hi Big_Al,
Sorry, no solution -- just support. I've got over 46,000 pics in nearly
3,500 folders in My Pictures so when I click on Desktop in Display
Properties, it takes a LLOONNGG time for Windows to populate the drop-down
list. So long that the first time that happened, I thought the Display
Properties app had frozen. I had time to look in this forum and MS KB before
it came back. It would, indeed, be nice to be able to exclude My Pictures
from that list.
