In this tutorial you get to know of a new way of changing wallpapers in windows.

Type Regedit in the Run Dialog and Navigate to
CODE

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-> SOFTWARE->MICROSOFT->WINDOWS->CURRENT VERSION



It contains a key called "WallpaperDir". Right click on this key and select Modify.

Here Type the Full Path of the Directory where your Wallpapers are stored.

Close the Registry Editor and Refresh the Desktop.
Open the Display Dialog and you will see all you wallpapers Right There.

What is the point of this???
a normal user would never use this method to change the
wallpaper for their desktop.
I just do not get it.

It's a way of changing the default folder where windows searches for the wallpapers (normaly c:\windows).
But, if you store all your wallpaper in my documents/walllpapers, you normaly have to navigate to select a new wallpaper.
Changing the key into my documtens/wallpapers resolves this 'annoyance', because you now see al your my documents/wallpapers wallpapers in the display manager.
