Talk about Windows annoyances. You take a great photo with your digital camera and want to use it as a wallpaper or you downloaded a free movie wallpaper, now you want to add it to your wallpaper collection. Where are Windows XP wallpapers kept?
Of course Windows buries it instead of making it a one click “Wallpapers” option.
First off the folder is located at:
c:/windows/web/wallpapers
For instance you don’t want to use the default folder.
Now, how do you change the folder that holds all your wallpapers, so that when you go to display properties, desktop, all of them are listed?
You will need to go into reg editor and change it there.
Go to Start/Run.../ type in “regedit”
Now navigate through the folders to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
Double-click the “WallpaperDir” and change the directory there.
