You haven't given us much information about your system. Is it
virus/malware-free? Be sure:

If the machine is clean, 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".

If you need more help, please see this link for what kind of details you
should include in your next newsgroup post:
