Pictures in Wallpaper list missing

[Winxptwker]

Hi all.

A strange problem has surfaced on the week-end and I am not sure how this has really happened.

When I go into the Desktop Properties to select a wallpaper, only BMP files can be seen. I went into the C:\windows\web\wallpaper\, all the pictures that came with my XP Pro are there as well as mine own imported pictures. I can right click the picture in the folder to "Set as Desktop Background", but in the Display Properties, I could go to Browse to the above folder to get to my favourite wallpaper which is a JPG file, it does not get applied in the preview neither did it gets added to the list. What would be wrong?

perhaps you disabled the option to display the web page as desktop. That allows jpg to be apllied from the web folder if i recall correctly.

display-->properties-->desktop-->customize desktop-->web-->check 'MyCurrent Homepage;
