Desktop

When i boot up my computer, it shows the picture that i want as my desktop
wallpaper, but then it goes to a blue wallpaper. When i go into my settings
and try to change my wallpaper, it will not let me change it and it keeps
going back to this "modified theme". Anyone know how to fix this????

Turn off Active Desktop or Web Page in Display Settings.

1 = Right click on your Desktop and select Properties from the drop down list,
Click on Desktop then click on Customize Desktop Button and make sure all
check boxes are unchecked there.
Click Apply then click [OK] to exit.

1 = Right click Desktop>> Point to Arrange icons by>>
Uncheck "Lock web items"

Hi,

Why? Are the settings in the "Desktop" tab grayed out perhaps?
