Question WinXP Desktop Background Question

Hey All,

Just was wondering if anyone could tell be how to get rid of unwanted background pics in the WinXP Desktop background section. I have so many pics in there I won't be using as a background and I hate having all those unnessary pics in that list. Seems like I read how to do it once before, now I can't figure it out. If anyone knows, I'd appreciate the help.

My Computer > C:\Windows

Find the name of the Wallpaper that you want to delete (it's a bitmap = .bmp). Right-click > Delete

Thanks,

But even going those routes, I can't get any bg pics to delete out of the list under the desktop tab. Looks like that would be easy to do. I wish I could just right click on them and could delete them that way, but ya can't.
