It's a way of changing the default folder where windows searches for the wallpapers (normaly c:\windows).
But, if you store all your wallpaper in my documents/walllpapers, you normaly have to navigate to select a new wallpaper.
Changing the key into my documtens/wallpapers resolves this 'annoyance', because you now see al your my documents/wallpapers wallpapers in the display manager.
