can someone tell me why i cant cgange my background? when i go to display, i
cant click on any displays and the word background isnt lit
 
Cannot change Desktop background wallpaper.

This can be caused by the following policy.

Prevent changing wallpaper policy: Prevents users from adding or changing
the background design of the desktop. By default, users can use the Desktop
tab of Display in Control Panel to add a background design (wallpaper) to
their desktop. If you enable this setting, the Desktop tab still appears,
but all options on the tab are disabled.

Allow Wallpaper/Background Changes - Disable

Click on Allow Wallpaper/Background Changes

wallpaperenable.reg is the file that you want.

[[To use the Regedits: Save the REG File to your hard disk. Double click it

Did not help. Downloaded file to hard drive, double clicked, and agreed when
asked if i wanted to add it tor registry. Also, failed to mention the first
time that background change is disabled for only one user, not the other on
same windows, Thanks for any help you can give me.

Everything in wallpaperenable.reg applies only to the Current User.

Log on as the one user with the problem and double click wallpaperenable.reg
again.
