I had the IE Defender problem all weekend (which I fixed after finding this site) but somehow, the photo on my desktop will not display. All of my desktop icons come up, but the picture does not. When I go to display, you can go to desktop but it's frozen.....no changes can be made.

I can click on Screensaver, etc. and it's all working, but the desktop window shows inactive. When I reboot my computer, the picture that I have on there will come up in a stretched position, but once the icons come up, the pic goes away!

Did the IE Defender delete something? HELP! I've tried system restore and it won't let me!

Try Kelly's fix. #285 right side: Restore All Display Tabs: http://www.kellys-ko...m/xp_tweaks.htm

Copy everything including the header and paste into Notepad. 'Save as..' a .reg file. Right click the saved file and choose 'Open with...' Select Regedit. Reply yes to the confirmation dialog.

Also just found this from Ramesh:

________________________________
"If the 'Desktop' tab is already visible, but the wallpaper options are
greyed out, try this:

Start Regedit.exe and navigate to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
(and)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

Delete the values "Wallpaper" and "WallPaperStyle" in the right-pane. CloseRegedit.exe."

I believe a reboot would also be required to effect the change.
