    How to remove the windows ME shutdown pic?

    Hi and I hope you can help me. My daughter some how got some pic loaded on my computer background. The deal it it's not my desktop background, it comes up during shutdown and boot-up. I can't seem to find how to remove this. It's not in the background pics. It's driving me crazy, any help removing this would be great.

    Thanks in advance!!!

    I couldn't find a program to remove it unless I over looked it...LOL

    I know how to use system restore but would rather remove it manualy if I can. There has to be a simple way to remove it I would think, just have to figure it out.

    Ok I got it..........I rite clicked desktop chose properties, went to background and chose none. Rebooted came back in and picked my same desktop background again and rebooted to see if the old shutdown screen showed the unwanted picture it had on there. It was gone....So thanks for the help!

    I was going to suggest to turn off Active Desktop but it looks like you got it figured out.
    I'm good enough.
