I am trying to figure out how to delete backgrounds out
of the list in the display Properties window under the
Desktop Tab. I cannot figure out how to delete unwanted
backgrounds from that list.
I know people have asked this many times but I did try all the old ways
and it won't let me delete what comes on the computer.
Why do I want to do this? I want to have a whole list of my own
pictures to choose from.
Thanks for any help.

This should solve your problem. Go into Control Panel......Add/Remove
Programs........Add/Remove Windows components.
Hilight - (Accessories and Utilities) click Details.
Hilight - (Accessories) click details.
Uncheck - (Desktop Wallpaper) click OK.

This will get rid of WINDOWS wallpapers so that all that should show in
Display Properties is your pictures.
