Default Display Properties when right clicking mouse

Hello! My computer crashed and all my settings were lost. I can no longer
right click my mouse and get all the display properties (appearance and
themes). What do I need to reset to accommodate this function. Thank you and
God bless!

First, eliminate Malware from the system. See:

The Parasite Fight - Quick Fix Protocol:
http://aumha.org/a/quickfix.php

To restore the missing tabs, start Regedit.exe and navigate these two
locations:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\System]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Policies\System]

In the right-pane, delete the following values if found:

- NoDispAppearancePage
- NoThemesTab
- NoDispBackgroundPage
- NoDispScrSavPage
- NoDispSettingsPage

Default Re: Display Properties when right clicking mouse

Hello! I really appreciate your response. I tried this and none of the
items you listed appeared. So, I still am unable to access all of the
appearance & themes when right clicking my mouse. Only one item will appear
and then I have to go to the control panel to change additional items.
Again, thank you and additional thoughts would be much appreciated. God
bless!

"Display Properties" is the window title. But which tab(s) are visible?
