We can do it from the regsistry as well.

Copy the part in bold below to notepad and save it as noactivedsktop.reg

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoActiveDesktop"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\
Explorer]
"NoActiveDesktop"=dword:00000001

Doubleclick the file and confirm you want to merge it with the registry.

Did that help?

If you choose a different background, does the same thing happen or do they cover the entire desktop?

And change your resolution under Settings to 800*600 and then change it back to the one you had.
Sometimes Windows needs a kick in the shins to wake up.

its the same when i change background

[Metallica]

Click Start > Run > copy&paste regedit /e c:\desktop.txt "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop" > OK

This will create the file desktop.txt
Post the content of that file please.

when i do this it says this has preformed an illegal operation you need to restart you computer

[Metallica]

Only the part in bold goes into the dialog box, correct?

If it gives you that error, do a Find Files for regedit

Let me know which files are found where.

[cristiano_7_manu]

here are the files found

Delete: C:\Windows\System\regedit

Then try the command again.

Are you sure that is the correct link?

Never mind I downloaded the .bmp

You are supposed to search your filesystem not the registry for regedit.

And please just type the paths where you find a file of that name.
