    File stuck in Desktop Wallpaper list - can't delete

    I wanted to delete a folder of images, but one is refusing to be moved/deleted etc because it is still in the Desktop Wallpaper list. Any ideas as to how I can remove it?

    what OS is this? just checked XP and it lets me delete them no problem, however the name stays in the list (with the image just black) and if you then try and set it as your background explorer.exe soils itself and needs killing and new tasking

    i guess the name disappears after a restart
