    Hi

    The default path to the Wallpapers is the C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper folder. You can create new folders and sub-folders in there and they will all be visible, in separate sections, when you click the Desktop Backgrounds button, in the Personalize options.

    If you use the Browse button and select pictures from any other location, any subfolders will not be shown and must be selected individually.

    Thanks.

    So, how can I change this path? Is there any way?

    The problem is I have a huge gallery of photos I want to use as my wallpaper and I dont want to copy them into c:\windows\web\wallpaper, cause it cost alot of disc space.

    Another question, when I used Browse Button and try to add my gallery, some incorrect folders added to the list, How can I remove them?
