After selecting "desktop' from the 'display' function of Con trol Panel the
only options I can use is color. The background, position, and browse
function have light print and are not selectable. Does anyone know what is
wrong? These functioned worked before a virus attack blocked by norton.

Right click an empty space on the Desktop and select Arrange icons by and remove the check mark from the "Lock items on desktop" option.

Right click the Desktop again and select Properties/Desktop Tab/Customize Desktop Button/Web Tab. Remove any check marks from any item in the Web Pages section. Apply/OK.

From DL Chuck:
Thanks for the help. I checked and none of the items were checked. Can you
think of anything else?
Thank again DL Chuck

Curious as to why I don't have a Desktop tab...

Chuck, if you haven't tried the following...please at least try. I had the
same problem and by the looks of things ALOT of people on here are having the
same problem. I tried what Ronnie suggested and it worked!! I posted a
message for help also...so they don't need to answer it now.
Thanks, Ronnie.
Chuck this is for you.....below!!!! It should work!! Smile
