in display menu, desktop options are grayed out and i cannot seem to
figure
out why. i have pictures to set to desktop but even if i right click
and say
set as desktop background, it is still just a blue screen behind my
icons.
Make a Registry Edit
[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\ActiveDesktop]
or
[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\ActiveDesktop]
In the right-hand pane, delete "NoChangingWallPaper" or change the value
to 0.
[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
In the right-hand pane, delete "Wallpaper" and "WallpaperStyle".
If you have XP Pro, use the Group Policy (gpedit.msc)
User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Desktop > Active desktop
Set "Active Desktop Wallpaper" and "Allow only bitmap wallpaper" to Not
Configured.
