It’s not something most people would care to do, but if you’re someone like me who likes to tinker, then it’s fun little experiment. So that’s how you can remove background wallpapers from Windows if you like. I would suggest viewing the directory in Thumbnails mode and then slowly browsing and deleting the wallpapers as you see them. BMP files, so leave everything else alone. You can obviously add pictures from anywhere by simply clicking the Browse button and navigating to that folder, but the point here is to customize the look of the dialog so that it shows your custom wallpapers instead of the default ones.Īs a side note, Windows XP also has a bunch of wallpapers stored in the C:\Windows directory. Make sure to be careful here because there are also many important files stored in the Windows directory and you don’t want to accidentally delete them. Instead of the default wallpapers included with Windows, you can add a bunch of your own favorites. Once you do that, you can copy over any image files you want in JPG format and they should show up in the desktop background dialog.Īs you can see, I also created a folder inside the Wallpaper folder called My Wallpapers. If you want to add your own wallpapers into the C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper directory, you can do so, but you will have to follow the same procedure and reset the permissions on the Wallpaper directory.

Thankfully, I’ve already written a detailed article on how to delete files protected by TrustedInstaller.

In order to delete the files or folders, you will have to change the owner to yourself first and then give yourself Full Control permissions. This is a major annoyance in later versions of Windows and it’s meant to prevent non-technical people from messing up the system by deleting important system files. One problem that you might run into when trying to delete wallpapers in Windows 7, 8 or 10 is an error message saying that you first need permission from TrustedInstaller. Copy them back later on to have them show up in the list again. If you think you may actually want to use the wallpapers later, you can just cut them and paste them into a temp folder. Now you can simply delete all the images in this folder and they will be removed from the desktop background dialog the next time you open it.

In Windows 7 and higher, you might find a couple of folders and those are the categories that I was mentioning above. In Windows XP, you’ll see some JPG and BMP images, the most famous being Bliss.bmp, which is the default desktop background for that operating system. In that folder you will see the default wallpapers installed on the system. It turns out it is simple enough to do, but it requires changing the default wallpaper that comes with windows, which can be found at C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper\Windows\img0.jpg. The main place to look in every version of Windows is: Recently I was given an interesting task set the default wallpaper on new computer builds with ConfigMgr OSD, but don’t lock it such that users can’t change it.

In Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10, the wallpapers are all stored in just one location. In Windows XP, there are a few locations where these annoying wallpapers are stored. Luckily, deleting the wallpapers is as easy as navigating to the correct folder and deleting everything there.

Windows 10 has another set of newly created wallpapers that will be shipping when it’s released this summer. Again, I really would rather all of these wallpapers not show up. I'll try when I get home.In Windows 8, you have more annoying categories like Flowers and Lines and colors. I noticed I still have a Crow Caller whistle in my inventory, haven't tried whether that still works or not as a quest starter.Įdit: I suppose something may have changed (besides the Crow Caller change) that allows you to do The Witchmother's Bargain more then once.

It will give you the 100% XP and turn you into a skeleton, but you need to use the quest starter in the crown store if you want to do The Witchmother's Bargain quest on a new character that hasn't done it. I think most of the people having trouble, probably for the same reason as previous years, are trying to use the Witchmother's Whistle (that all character's can use from mementos whether they've done the quest or not) to start the quest. The starter quest that gives you the Witchmother's Whistle, where you have to give Olyve the pumpkins, guts, and essence of death, can only be done once per character. Had sort of hoped there would be more to it I assume you here mean daily? Because I was able to do the quest again, but it was just the same as I did yesterday. If you've already done the quest, you can't do it again (per character).
