    Hey, folks.

    I've run out of options, and you are all my last hope. :(

    After rebooting this morning, I went into my display properties (Right click, Properties > Desktop) and noticed that ALL my JPEGs were now showing on my list of choices. Previously, only those located in C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper and C:\Windows (the bitmaps) were viewable. Right now, there's just too many, and it's a pain in the ass.

    What Registry Key or String points to this directory, and how might I go about changing it back?

    Thanks SO much to anyone who can help!

    Where are you jpegs? Just moving them to a new location would most likely take them off that list.

    It looks for images in My Documents\My Pictures, too. Just move those somewhere else.
