Dumb Question...

[pol]

all pics in your My Pictures folder appear in the Display > Desktop panel by default.

i've never changed a setting like that on my pc and those pictures dont end up in my desktop display box


@FKDUP74 - has this always happened with the pics from your "My Pictures" folder ?

[fkdup74]

no, not til recently (and i found the folders you mentioned after 'showing hidden files' (i knew there was gonna be a no-brainer in this somwhere )the only image file in the folder was my current desktop
checked all file handling options in photoshop and paintshop, found nothing concerning sending files to desktop, hmmmm.....

use 'search' on your full computer and search for the filenames of the pics - not just a pic search tho' - 'all files and folders'

nope, sparse nailed it, moved em into another folder, put em in 'my documents' for now, and theyre out of the desktop list.....
thanks sparse, and pol for bein patient and tryin to help me figure this out
