hi, i think im having a similar problem. out of no where my background became
grey and all the backgrounds when i right click and hit properties dont work.
the rest of the theme still works though, like the icons and what not. ive
tried the whole registry thing and it doesnt do anything. anything that could
help would be great.

a) Registry fix-Automated :

b) Manually (XP -Pro) :
1. Start > Run > gpedit.msc
2. Under User configuration > Click [Administrative Templates\Control Panel\Display\]
3. There will be a value named "Prevent changing wallpaper" > Set it to "Not
Configured"

--- or ---

c) Manually (XP -Any) :
1. Open Regedit
2.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\ActiveDesktop]
