Post subject: Desktop Background
Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windowsxp>customize (more info?)

i'm having a problem changing the image as my desktop background. I have
Windows XP. When my properties window comes up, the area with all of the
background choices on it is gray and I can only choose a color. I got some
kind of an error telling me something about my active desktop? Can someone
help i am really frustrated!!!!!

Thanks!

Hi,

Try this first:

Right-click anywhere on your desktop and select 'Properties'.
Click the 'Desktop' tab and click the 'Customize Desktop' tab.
Click the 'Web' tab and delete everything except "My current Home page"

Uncheck (clear) 'My current Home page'.
Click OK and retry a Desktop background.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If that doesn't do it, try this:

Open up the Registry editor by going to Start => Run and typing in
"regedit" {without the quotes}

Navigate to this key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Software
Microsoft
Windows
CurrentVersion
Policies
System

Look for a String in the right-hand pane called Wallpaper. If it's
there, probably pointing to the path to an image file, note down this
path so you can delete the file later. Now right-click on Wallpaper and
Delete it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"REG_SZ" was below the DATA column.... as soon as I deleted "Wallpaper"
(under NAME), I tried to set a wallpaper ..and BAYUM!!!..WALLPAPER! I was
just about to check myself in to an institution.
