Windows XPの私の映像への変更のデフォルトの壁紙のホールダー
Windows XPに選ぶべきそのようなひどく醜い壁紙がなぜからあったか疑問に思ったあることがか。 それの上の、容易にあなたがあなたの私の映像のホールダーのように実際に…使用するかもしれないホールダーに背景のリストを変える方法がない。
青いレース16を取り払いたいと思えば別のホールダーのWindowsの一見を作るためにあなたがすることができるまたそれを手動で削除しなければならないかなり単純な登録の刻み目がある。 (登録の編集についての標準的な警告はここに適用する)
「至福のような名前によって私がこれを見ることにより少なく疲れていることを」考える:
変更の壁紙のホールダー
regedit.exeを開始メニュー操業箱を使用して開発し、次に次のキーに運行しなさい:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ソフトウェア\マイクロソフト\ Windows \ CurrentVersion
右側でリストに住むホールダーのWindowsの使用を定義するWallPaperDirと呼ばれる価値を見るべきである。 キーがなければ、同じ名前と新しい文字列型の値を作成できる。
価値を変え、次にあなたの私の映像のホールダーにフル・パスで貼るべきダブルクリック。 。ほしかったら道をここに指定できること(ノート)
変更はデスクトップのパネルを…開ける時が、リストのいくつかのデフォルトのイメージにまだ気づく次に即時べきである。 WindowsがまたイメージのためのWindowsのホールダーを…ただすことなる
それらを取り払うためには、C:\Windowsに拾い読みし、次に一組の恐ろしく醜いビットマップファイルを捜しなさい:
ちょうど気を付けるWindowsのあなたのホールダーの何か他のもの削除しないようにこれらのそれらに壁紙の選択のリストで現われる停止をするためにイメージを削除できるまたは多分もう追い出せない。

Greetings from Tenn. I just wanted to say how much I enjoy and learn from your E-mails. They are one of the few I make sure to read each time. The way you present the information is simple enough that I can understand and follow along. Please keep up your hard work.
Thank You

Nice. Can this hack be used on any other folders than My Pictures?
If I’m not mistaken, I think the Microsoft PowerToy “TweakUI XP” does this too. It’s in the item called “Login” which allows you to change what’s on the .DEFAULT profile. I could be wrong, but I have used that to change the default screensaver, so I am guessing it works for wallpaper too.
@Syahid
Yes, you can use any filesystem path in place of that folder.
@Dwane:
Thanks for the compliments!
@Dave:
You very well could be right. I don’t have TweakUI installed on my test machine, so I’ll have to look into it.
My bad. TweakUI lets you change the default settings for new accounts (like wallpaper). It doesn’t change the wallpaper folder. Perhaps this could be another article on H2G.
One thing to note here is that the default value for that key is %WINDIR%\Web\Wallpaper.
That folder stores all the nice JPEG format wallpapers available in Windows XP and Vista.
If you change it those wallpapers will no longer appear in the list.
One correction to my post, the default path is actually %SystemRoot%\Web\Wallpaper.
Also I recall seeing Windows XP loading images from My Pictures without a registry change.
Not sure why it doesn’t seem to be doing it now.
Desktop properties – Any way to make the default position STRETCH?
might not
%HOMEPATH%\My Documents\My Pictures
be better than a hard coded path??
If someone is the only user of computer of the computer then hard coding the path won’t make that much of a difference.
If the computer is used by multiple users then using path that isn’t hard coded will make it so each user’s “My Pictures” contents will displayed instead of just the “My Pictures” of the person who did the tweak. Assuming of course the all those users kept their “My Pictures” in the default location otherwise it wouldn’t work.
From a steps perspective if this article was updated with something like “If you use the default My Pictures folder location you can use the following value” then people with a default My Pictures folder location can just copy the value from the article instead of from an explorer window. Thus saving them a few extra seconds when doing the tweak.
I just decided to test what I remembered by setting up a virtual machine and found that at least on a new install the wallpaper list does display pictures in the “My Pictures” without any tweaks.
See screen shot at http://imagegrotto.com/view-Di.....ak7204.jpg
I’m not sure what all can disable that but I know at least redirecting “My Pictures” to a network drive does.
This article should be updated to say it’s only needed if the builtin ability to list images from “My Pictures” disappeared somehow to use this tweak.
@jd2066
That’s interesting… it didn’t work on my test VM. I’ll do some testing of my own and update the article.
Thx for this nice tip
@jd2066 and anyone
Btw, I was reading the user comments, and in my opinion, this tip is very useful, you just need to know how to use it in each personal way, so, jd2066 I think you took the title “Change Default Wallpaper Folder to My Pictures on Windows XP” to much at heart, altho it’s nice to know that windows takes the “my pics” folder as “default”, I really don’t think this article needs an update just because windows automatically puts the images from the “my pics” folder… let’s say the title was “Change Default Wallpaper Folder to Whatever Folder you like the most on Windows XP”… for example, what if you like to keep your images in a complete diferent partition and organized folder, I for sure wouldn’t copy or move the images to the “My pics” folder just because Windows _wants_ me to… I rather put Windows working the way I want and like it
Hi Guys,
was just looking at all these helpful tips, now how about the reverse process? What if by default my Windows XP is including the pictures in the My Pictures folder and I don’t want it to? How do I remove that?
Thanks
@Thomas: From what I can tell you can’t. From my tests the only time Windows XP doesn’t display pictures from the “My Pictures” folder is when the “My Pictures” folder is redirected to a network location.
Wow that’s really helpful. I have a folder in My Pictures for my desktop wallpaper and I was wondering how I could just automatically have those show up in the desktop preferences without having to manually browse for them.
welldone, thanks.
No. You’re all wrong.
Sorry… This is not needed at all + not to mention dangerous!
Now follow my steps… (Skip steps 4,5+9 if you have no files in your ‘My Pictures’ folder).
Delete every thing + Input Path of you Wall Paper folder.
1. Delete the default Wall Paper folder.
Only the Wall Paper folder.
2. Open ‘My Documents’.
3. You should see the ‘My Pictures’ folder there. If you don’t; no worries (Create a new folder labeled ‘My Pictures’ folder; ONLY LABELED ‘My Pictures’. Other names may not work).
4. Click ‘My Pictures’ Drag you mouse in a corner of the inside of the folder around all of your files. This creates a box round your files + folders.
5. Right click + cut files from the context menu to load them into the clipboard. DO NOT DO ANY THING ELSE!
6. Close every thing.
7. Click Start>Run + Input the path C:\Documents and Settings\’Your User name’\My Documents.
8. To simply things right click the taskbar + click show the desktop. I don’t care how you do this but create a create a shortcut of ‘My Pictures + put it on the desktop.
9. Right click the folder + Click Paste.
10. Your files are now safe. Right Click the folder + click ‘Properties’. You should see a box where you can input the target path.
11. Move the shorcut to the ‘My Pictures’ folder.
12. Go to Display settings in Control Panel to make our next task easier…
13. Click the Desktop tab… click BROWSE + Go to the ‘WINDOWS’ folder.
14. Lastly delete all the pics.
We must stop modifying our registries – As tiring as this is to write…. I don’t like doing that (personally) + it is unneccessary + dangerous!
It’s a been pleasure to write this. If you have any trouble with this e-mail me.
Excuse me… Don’t forget to create an other Wall Paper folder after deleting the Old 1.
As Ed Fiebig said, Is that possible ?
Completely possible. I reed through this + actually thought I could do better as you do + found yes that is totally possible.
Sorry friend, I was thinking you meant some thing else but as far as I kno’ yes.
Greetings,
Wondering if you have a tip in here for keeping your view preference for ALL folders when you exit an revisit. It max’s out for XP?
I know there is a registry hack for this somewhere..
This should save me a lot of time. Great work, man.
Thanks!
I bought some XP Pro computers at an auction but one has a state logo at the Ctrl/Alt/Delete screen and I have tried different things to remove it. This was on a domain and was an imaged pc. Can you help?
Thanks
@Al M: Are you refering to the wallpaper displayed behind the standard Login Screen which asks for a name and password? If so then there are two options to remove it:
1. Goto Control Panel -> User Accounts and enable the welcome screen. The welcome screen will display a list of users and have it’s own blue background which is can’t be changed unless you use Stardock LoginUI and I don’t think the State would have used LoginUI to do it.
2. If you want the classic login screen, download Tweak UI and use it to copy your current wallpaper to the login screen and replace the state logo one.
For some reason, when I go into the browse (which I’ve set to My Pictures), it goes into a sub folder under My Pictures.
I’ve made sure that the registry has nothing after it to make it go into that folder, but it continually does.
Does anyone know why and if so how do I fix it?
Thanks.
There is absolutely no need to edit your registry. All you have to do is navigate to C:\WINDOWS\Web\Wallpaper and copy/paste your preferred wallpapers into that folder. Delete the ones you do not want to have that come stock with your computer.
Nice trick. Uhm, but a freeware wallpaper changer utility maybe more usefull.
