standard user cannot choose desktop backgrounds in Windows 7 with certain gpolicies applied

display\personalization\desktop background

the windows desktop backgrounds is showing no backgrounds for the user to choose
my group policies include these 2 settings because I don't want users to access their c:drive
I have restricted access to the c:\drive by using these 2 settings below

Prevent access to drives from My Computer: enabled
restrict c:\drive only
Hide these specified drives in My Computer: enabled
restrict c:\drive only

now if I change the "hide these specified drives in My computer to disable or not configured"  the user will be able to see the backgrounds but I would like to keep this policy enabled for security reasons.

by the way: the above 2 settings worked great in our windows XP environment and the user could see and change their backgrounds

is there another way for these desktop backgrounds to show for a standard user and also keep the 2 settings above enabled for our Windows 7 clients?
