Display missing Desktop Tab

[Guest]

I went to help a friend with his computer. I tried to change the desktop
picture but when I go to Control Panel, Display there is no tap for Desktop.
How could it be missing? The other tabs are there. Any help would be
appreciated. Thank you

Using google.com, I found this post from MVP Doug Knox:

Click Start, Run and enter REGEDIT Go to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System


Look in the right pane for a value called NoDispBackgroundPage. If it
exists it should be set to 0 (zero). If not, double click the value and
change it to 0. If it doesn't exist, right click in the right pane, select
New, DWord Value and name it NoDispBackGroundPage. Leave it set at 0.

Thanks so much for the reply and fix. I can't imagine how that would happen
but I will fix it.
