[help] My Images folder

This doesn't really have to do with a specific software, but it is Windows related lol. And yes i did attempt to google this, using different phrases, before i posted here.

Is there a way to disable the My Images folder in My Documents? Or at least prevent Windows from making it the default Image folder for things such as digital camera upload, or MS Clipart download?

I wouldn't care so much, except that if you go to the wallpaper tab in display properties every single image in the My Images folder will load in the background pane, which just adds clutter.

nLite could do the trick, but you will have to reinstall Windows, I think you can disable My Picture folders. I may be wrong .. but nLite is free and worth giving a try.

you can use the tweakui powertoy to change the location of the 'special folders' like My Pictures and My Music etc

Im not sure if that would solve your problem tho

I've looked into disabling it...never had any luck, though I didn't try too hard. I just create another folder in My Documents called Other Pictures, and stick stuff in there.

Have you realized that if you stick enough pictures in My Pictures, the Wallpaper tab won't show them all?! Quite annoying

i already had TweakUI installed, and looked into that option. unfortunately it doesn't have the option to change the My Images folder, several others yes, but not that one. not going to try nLite though. I don't want to install something that will only have one purpose, especially if i have to reinstall Windows. i was hoping that i could do it natively with a reg tweak, or something instead of using a 3rd party app.

thanks for commenting guys!
