Removing Internet Explorer wallpaper

[Barry]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

I downloaded a picture to be used as my desktop wall paper.......Now I'm
trying to remove it, and I can't, I've looked @ all BMPs,JPGs, etc. It
doesn't show up any place.
I go to "Display" then "Desk Top", and locate the item, It's listed as
"Internet Explorer Wallpaper". I do a search for the wallpaper, and nothing
shows up..........Any ideas???
Thanks
Barry/Austin

Change options to look in hidden and system folders.

Right click a blank area of the desktop | Properties | Desktop |
Customize Desktop | Web. Untic the "Lock desktop items box". Under web
pages highlight the offending file and click delete.
