I've never actually tried to clean this up and merge them, and your comment has scared me from even trying. Plus a few from high school when I used MSN messenger. Oh and another from when I played Xbox 360 a long time ago. I also probably have one for Skype, I've created a few when playing Halo MCC on a new computer (every damn time it asks me to log in, even if I just want to play single player). Now 12 years later I have many Microsoft accounts, because I don't really use their services, I think they just strongly pushed me into making one when I setup windows laptops over the years. If you found the default wallpaper file and modified it, they would detect it and show a black screen.

but they went out of their way to enforce it. They claimed that this was to accommodate the less powerful hardware of the netbook. In 2010 I first got into Linux because of Microsoft making (what seemed to me at the time to be) user hostile decisions: my netbook came with "windows 7 starter edition", which did not allow you to change the wallpaper.
