simple to understand your explanation on the google groups link. I've found
the "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Po licies\ActiveDesktop
-and-
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Pol icies\ActiveDesktop"

but i am unsure what to do with these now, any more assistance? Pretty Please!

Please describe the problem you're experiencing.

From that link:

Quote:

Open Regedit and navigate to:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Pol icies\ActiveDesktop
-and-
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Pol icies\ActiveDesktop

*Backup the keys to separate REG files*
Then, delete all the values you see in the right-pane, that have a value of
1.

Navigate to:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Pol icies\System
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Pol icies\System
Backup the keys.
Delete the values "Wallpaper" and "WallPaperStyle" in the right-pane.

I am experiencing the same problem as the original user.

I dont know how to "*Backup the keys to separate REG files*", but just
deleting the ones you have detailed has solved the problem. is the fact i did
not back up the reg files going to cause any problems?
