Missing Tabs in Display Properties
I recently had a virus that among other things put it's own wallpaper on my
desktop. I've been able to eradicate the virus, and even delete the wallpaper file. However, I had to do that manually through Explorer. When I bring up the Display Properties window, either from right-clicking my desktop or from Control Panel Display, I'm missing the Desktop and Screen Saver tabs. I would expect there's a place in the registry to turn these on/off - just can't seem to find where. Suggestions? |

I got the same virus/malware? problem today, and found a link to kellys
corner - in notes here -- thank you. Anyone know how to identify where it came from -- i was on a website when it happened searching for info on the drug lovaza -- i don't remember the name of the website as I could tell something was happening and was trying to shut everything down as fast as possible. - s. burke "kjfrey55" wrote: I recently had a virus that among other things put it's own wallpaper on my desktop.
