My desktop layout looks like I have opened a folder?! I
was trying to place one picture on my destop (without any
other background) and now it shows me (on the right side
of my screen) options as if I have opened a folder!?
(They (the options) work by-the-way!)

It's showing Folder Tasks, Other Places and the Details
info choices as if I were in a folder. Did I do
something or check something when I accessed the Display
option (right clicking on the desktop)?

This is bizarre and I would like to see just the picture
(by-the-way, which is not viewable either) on my desktop!

I simply clicked (right clicked) on the desktop, chose
properties... clicked on the tab for Desktop, clicked on
the Web tab and then chose browse to locate the photo!
Next thing I know the afore mentioned happened without
displaying the photo.

Any solution to this dilema would very much be
appreciated! (I guess it goes to show that dispite your
daily interactions with windows (since 3.0), you can
never really be sure you know what you think you
know!!! ?? !!! Thanks again, Don Johnson
 
Go back to the web tab and clear any ticked boxes in the big Web pages box.
This will turn your active desktop off.

If this works then delete these (unticked) entries (except for My Current
Home Page) and try again.
 
I'm having the same problem. I changed the background to
a personal picture and then, all of the sudden, I have
this folder properties bar on the left side of my desktop.

I tried the fix from Crouton but I didn't have any boxes
checked to begin with. I don't use my web display, so
the only thing in there is the My Current Home Page and
it's unchecked also. Any help??? Thanks!
