Default RE: desktop background

Open Regedit and navigate to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\System
-and-
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Policies\SysteÂ*m

Delete the values "Wallpaper" and "WallPaperStyle" in the right-pane.
Close Regedit

Please right click on your desktop and make sure that the output is set
to desktop monitor and not laptop screen.

Just a thought!
