Location of Wallpaper

On the screen where one can change their wallpaper, Vista
automatically places several locations in the drop down box (Samples,
Public, Windows Wallpapers, Pictures). Where can I change these
entries, especially where they point to? Thanks

Re: Location of Wallpaper

Just paste under Users/<USER>/Pictures
and it will appear automatically there to select

is this what you want?

Well, I had created a folder in users\public\pictures\ and it doesn't
show up in the list.

Is there an entry you want to get rid of?

Personally I put any image I want regularly used as wallpaper in the
system wallpaper folder (C:Windows\web\wallpaper - assuming Windows is
on your "C" drive.)
