My desktop background wallpaper choices is locked. When I press start,
control panel, appearances and themes, desktop background, the wallpaper
choices are locked. I cannot even scroll down the choices of wallpaper. The
only thing I can change is the color of the desktop. Please help. Thanks.
= Right click Desktop select Properties and on the Display properties click on
Desktop Tab then click Customize Desktop.
On the Desktop Items click on Web Tab and be sure all boxes unchecked there.
Then click on Appearance Tab then Effects button. On the Effects window be
sure the settings been set to suite your requirements.
Also on the Registry:

regedit.exe click [OK]
[-]HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\ActiveDesktop=

"NoChangingWallpaper" Set it to (0)
[-]HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\ActiveDesktop=
In the right Pane/Window locate and Double click the value named
