Ever since MS began recommending developers use the personal area in Windows XP (C:\Documents and Settings\[username]) I seem to accumulate dozens of nearly useless folders in My Documents, including "My Wallpapers".
This folder doesn't belong in My Documents; it should be in Application Data\ or Local Settings\ or Local Settings\Application Data. The ".wallpaper" files cannot even be activated from within Explorer (e.g., double click to apply) so having them in an easy to find location like My Documents is pointless.
If you're worried about backup, most backup tools that I've used back up the entire D&S\[username] tree.

The location of the wallpaper folder can be changed in the registry, to do this run regedit.exe, go to the key 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Realtime Soft\UltraMon\Wallpaper' and change the 'Wallpaper Directory' value.
I agree that My Documents isn't the ideal location for the wallpapers, this will probably be changed for UltraMon 3.

Thank You! Atleast I can manually move it - I thought I was stuck with "My Wallpapers" in my documents.
