Missing wallpaper
I need help please. After downloading Vista, I cannot get my pictures as
wallpaper. I can change the color of my background, but the program refuses to allow me to select one of the pictures listed as a background option. However, if I sign in as one of the rest of my family, they are allowed to select a picture. What do I need to do? -- Thanks! Rocky |

Missing wallpaper
For Windows XP Professional
=================== 1. Click Start - Run - type GPEDIT.MSC and press Enter 2. Expand to User Configuration - Administrative Templates - Control Panel - Display 3. On the right-side pane double-click the entry "Prevent Changing Wallpaper" 4. If the value is set to "Not Configured" or "Enable" then set it to "Disable" For both Home & Professional edition ======================== 1. Click Start - Run - type REGEDIT and press Enter 2. Expand to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\ Explorer\ActiveDesktop 3. On the right side pane - check if there is an entry "NoChangingWallpaper". Set its value to 0 by double-clicking or delete the entry. If that doesn't help then read what Microsoft has to say about this and resolution: Article published by Microsoft regarding the problem: ================================================== === http://support.microsoft.com/kb/921049/ You can try if neither of above works: ====================================== A key in your registry is probably pointing to a deleted file refered to as desktop.html If you go into your regedit and follow this path: HKEY_CURRENT USER/SOFTWARE/MICROSOFT/WINDOWS/CURRENTVERSION/POLICIES/SYSTEM In there you may see a key that points to the C:\Windows\Web\desktop.html If you see that key DELETE IT. Your virus software probably found this hijack desktop viruz and deleted the infected file already. Hope this help, let us know! "Rocky" wrote: I need help please.
