I have my photos rotating as a screen saver.
A while back, my sister sent me an e-mail with a picture of her feet, she had swollen toes at the time.
This rather unsightly photo keeps turning up on my screen. I didn't save the picture (who would?), so how do I get rid of it?
Do I have to find the e-mail and delete it? :-D

Maggie, 'start' > 'control panel' > 'appearance and personalization' (this might have another name in different set ups) > 'change desktop background'. Untick pictures that you don't want to see.
This may vary but I think the main gizz will be similar.

If you do that, potentially you will have thousands of results.

Which version of Windows are you running?
