How to add your favourite picture to Windows default wallpaper list ?

The Windows default wallpaper list is shown when we select Desktop tab under Display Properties (Right click»Properties on Desktop). If you need to add some pictures to this list from your own collection here are the steps to follow.

The wallpapers shown in the list are located in the folder %SystemRoot%\Web\Wallpaper the %SystemRoot% represents your Windows Directory (normally C:\Windows).
