Default Can't change desktop wallpaper setting.

My display properties, for background wallpaper, is locked up or I am blocked
from changing. I had a picture now only the color of blue is displayed. It
will allow me to change the color but the wallpaper choices will not
highlight. When I start up and shut down my wallpaper comes on for a breif
moment. Appreciate some advise

Bakes, try here at Kelly's http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_abc.htm
Select W and scroll to Allow wallpaper background changes. Click on it and
select Run and say Yes.

Thanks but it didn't make any difference. Should I restart?

At least PCBUTTS1 helps people, unlike you stalker. Do you have a
patent on your Nick? Maybe I will change my nick to "Leythos" and start
giving out bad advice just like you.

Default Re: Can't change desktop wallpaper setting.

I told you how, did you not see my post? here it is again.
Use this tool

AntiPuper v1.1 by secured2k
http://secured2k.home.comcast.net/tools/AntiPuper.exe

This tool unlocks the ability to change or disable the desktop background
image or active web desktop background. You will need to manually change
your desktop background.

Go to Control Panel > Display > Desktop Tab > Customize Desktop > Web Tab.
If you see any entries that are checked, uncheck them. Click OK.
