124842 2003-03-01 07:15:00 On someone's Win XP desktop there is a non-Windows picture underneath Win XP's "Bliss" Desktop background . I think this non-Windows picture shows upon bootup before the Bliss background takes over .

On my Win 98 computer this is disabled via "View Desktop as a Web Page" but I cannot find the location of this non-Windows picture on the Win XP computer to get rid of it .

Does anyone know where to look?

124843 2003-03-01 07:20:00 Err.. Yeah, AFAIK, Doze remembers the second to last image displayed as your background.

So, what I would suggest is that you copy the 'bliss' screen and save it as something like bliss2, and set your new background as bliss2!

It works for me in 98/2K

124844 2003-03-01 08:03:00 I have Win XP. Do you know how to delete any background pictures on desktop that you have downloaded from somewhere and you dont want anymore??? Ladybug (3129)
124845 2003-03-01 08:23:00 Pick a blank spot on your desktop and right click mouse. From this menu choose properties. Then click the desktop tab. Now just choose from the list what you want as a background on your desktop. Pheonix (280)
124846 2003-03-01 08:57:00 Hi Pheonix

I'm wanting to delete something from that list - how do I do that?

Not wanting anymore eg I've downloaded a background from a site
but its not what I wanted.

You will have to browse to the folder where it is kept and delete it from there. Go to the list to find out the name of the file and then do a search on your computer to find its location. Then you will be able to delete it.

124849 2003-03-01 11:31:00 Susan. Is it the slash screen you are trying to get rid of if so there is a switch you can put in after fastdetect to disable it.

Please note that you cannot change the colour of the taskbar alone, it will change the appearance of the windows frames as well. Just enjoy and play. Pheonix (280)
124851 2003-03-01 11:58:00 Sorry Susan, didn't realise you wanted it out completely. Go to where I told you and note what it is called. Then go to your C: drive - windows - web - wallpaper and delete it there. Pheonix (280)
