How do I change the desktop background on my computer. It will not let me save a picture as the background. The set as background button will not appear. It is just blank. How do I get the picture as the background. Thanks

First right click on your desktop somewhere away from any folder. This brings up the Display Properties box. Click on the Desktop tab.

It should give you a list of choices for you to choose from. Select one, click Apply, and then OK.

If you want a picture of your own choice, you will need to first place the picture somewhere convenient on your computer to keep it. Then use the Browse button to find it. Then Select, Apply, and OK as noted before.

Try this regfix...

http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/regs_edits/wallpaperenable.reg

Right click on the link above and choose Save As... or Save Link As...

Save it to your Desktop.

Double click the reg file and answer Yes when asked to merge it into the registry.

Reboot and see if that helps.

Much like kicking the Jukebox I changed the position in properties/desktop then did a refresh and my sons pictures reappeared.

I'm not sure whether I needed the refresh or not. It all happened so fast officer.
