Can't set up wallpaper in XP

The list of wallpapers in display properties is grayed. Desktop is set

sellection?

Thanks...

I can't remember how to do it, I will keep looking. In the meantime, search
for "Active Desktop" in Help & Support Centre.

Group policy in effect?

If this isn't a case of a group policy being set:

Go to the Display applet in Control Panel and look on the Desktop tab.
Click on Customize Desktop, and then click on the Web tab. You will see
that there are checkmarks next to "My Current Home Page" and probably
"Lock Desktop Items". Uncheck these. Click Apply and OK out when you've
made your changes.

If you can't enable desktop backgrounds after a virus, MVP Kelly Theriot
has a fix. Look under Wallpaper-Desktop-Disable Changing here:

If Display tabs are missing, run Kelly's registry edit on line 285,
right-hand side "Restore all display tabs".
