wallpaper

I changed the wallpaper background on my screen. When I boot up or shut
down, the previous wallpaper appears for a time. I recall from my Windows
98 days that there was a way to stop that from happening. Is there a way
to stop it in Windows 2000??

Yes, and it's the same way, if memory serves, as it was with Win98.
Turn off the active desktop and remove the underlying wallpaper from the
normal display settings.
