Lost my wallpaper

[Jim]

Not sure how to fix this...I emptied my "trash" and all of a sudden my
desktop wallpaper disappeared as well. All I have is the blue screen. All
of my icons are right where they should be, but no wallpaper. I've gone
into the desktop to select new wallpaper but nothing shows up. Any help is
appreciated!

Try running the edit on Kelly' site, line 195, "Restore Wallpaper Views"
at http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm. See the top of the
page for information on running the edit.

Thanks, Rock.

Hi Jim,

Have you renamed the recycle bin or using another measure? Either way, had
you run any cleaners before the empty process? Done any manual cleaning,
tweaks, etc? More info needed.

Hi Kelly,

Yes, I had cleaned out the Norton Recycle Bin, something that I've done
hundreds of times. But I do recall doing that just before the background
disappeared. Let me know what additional info you need, and thanks!
