Have you ever come across a desktop background that you absolutely hate? Maybe it’s too bright, too dark, or simply not to your taste. You’re probably thinking that the solution is simply to change it, right? But what happens when you find that background in your desktop background list every time you try to change your background? The truth is, it can be a bit frustrating to see that undesired background every time you change your desktop background. Fortunately, there is a way to remove it from your desktop background list.

Here are a few simple methods:

Method #1: Using Group Policy Editor

If you are using Windows 10 Pro or Enterprise and have access to Group Policy Editor, you can easily remove the undesired background. Follow the steps below:

1. Press the Windows Key + R to open the Run dialog box.

2. Type “gpedit.msc” and press Enter. This will open the Group Policy Editor.

3. In the Group Policy Editor, navigate to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Control Panel > Personalization.

4. Double-click on “Prevent changing desktop background.”

5. In the window that opens, select “Enabled” and click “Apply.”

6. This will remove the ability to change the desktop background for all users, including yourself.

7. If you want to allow yourself to change the desktop background again, simply go to the same policy and select “Not Configured” or “Disabled” instead of “Enabled.”

Method #2: Using Registry Editor

If you do not have access to Group Policy Editor, you can use Registry Editor to remove the undesired background from your desktop background list. However, before proceeding with the steps below, we suggest you make a backup of your registry, just in case.

1. Press the Windows Key + R to open the Run dialog box.

2. Type “regedit” and press Enter. This will open the Registry Editor.

3. In the left-hand pane, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\ActiveDesktop.

4. Double-click on “NoChangingWallPaper.”

5. In the window that opens, change the value data to “1” and click “OK.”

6. Close the Registry Editor.

7. Your undesired background should now be removed from your desktop background list.

Method #3: Using Personalization Settings

If you are simply trying to remove a background that you no longer want to use as your desktop background, you can do this using the Personalization settings menu. Here’s how:

1. Right-click on the Desktop and select “Personalize.”

2. In the left-hand pane, click “Background.”

3. Scroll down until you see the “Choose your picture” section.

4. Select the undesired background that you want to remove from the list.

5. Click on the “Remove” button.

6. The undesired background should now be removed from your desktop background list.

In conclusion, removing an undesired background from your desktop background list is quite easy. You just need to follow any of the three methods discussed above. Remember to create a backup of your registry before performing any changes to it. Hopefully, this guide has helped you on your quest for the perfect desktop background.
