Extra photo at boot

[dre1x]

windows 2000 Pro...there is an extra photo that shows up at boot, for a few
seconds, then the screen reverts to the designated background. I can locate
the pic on the Display/background drop-down ...it it simply called
'wallpaper.jpg' but i can't find the file using search...so i can delete it.
Can somebody help me to get rid of it. this is on a buddies computer, i use
XP, so i'm not terribly familiar with 2000 pro
thx dave

Re: Extra photo at boot

Try this:

Turn OFF the Active Desktop, Change Wallpaper to NONE, Apply, then turn ON the
Active Desktop. Now you can reselect the Wallpaper of your choice again.

You can toggle the Active Desktop ON and OFF as follows:
Right-click a blank area on the desktop, point to Active Desktop, and then click
Show Web Content to enable or disable this feature. A check mark next to the
text indicates that the Active Desktop is enabled.

Good luck!
