Display Properties

[Joseph Thomas]

when brining up display properties for the desktop I had five tabs across the
top. They were -p Themes - Desktop - Screensaver - Appearance - Settings.
Now I only have three of those showing so I can not change or apply
screensavers. It is also missing the Desktop tab so I can do nothing there
either.

How can I restore the original Display properties so all five tabs are back.
I have no idea how they were changed. One more got on the computer and the
tabs were just gone! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
