Desktop background problem
When I go to "display properties/desktop" to change my wallpaper, my usual wallpapers aren't listed. Instead, EVERYTHING from "My Pictures" is listed there (a HUGE list!). I don't want any of these things to be desktop wallpaper.
When I go to C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper, all of my old wallpapers are there. Nothing from "My Pictures" is in there. How can I get my old wallpapers back in the list under "Display Properties"? |

Re: Desktop background problem
Hi cjchrist, and welcome to TSF.
![]() This could be a sign of an infection, but try this. Run the System File Checker: Click Start >> Run >> Type sfc /scannow (note space after sfc), then click OK. You may be asked to insert your Windows disc. If when you insert your disc, it auto starts, close it down so that you can see the command window. The process may take quite a while, be patient and wait until you see a new line which should say "C:\Documents and Settings\****> (**** being your name or computer name.) Take out the disc. Then reboot and let me know if this solved your problem. |

Re: Desktop background problem
Have you tried system restore?
What Antivirus/Spyware protection do you have installed? Did you run any scans recently?

Re: Desktop background problem
I have tried system restore, but the problem was still there. I have McAfee; I ran it and it didn't detect anything.
What sort of specs did you want me to post? Quote:

Re: Desktop background problem
Hi,
I'm fairly sure this is a windows related program but try this so that we can have a little better look at your system. Use Belarc Advisor it builds a detailed profile of your installed software and hardware, including Microsoft Hotfixes, and displays the results in your Web browser. All of your PC profile information is kept private on your PC and is not sent to any web server. NOTE: When providing this information please remove any licenses, listed in the results. |

Re: Desktop background problem
I have a related problem, in that I can no longer centre or tile the desktop back ground.
The Belarc Advisor log is below. The missing security hotfix has, in fact, been installed.

Re: Desktop background problem
Well, yesterday the problem disappeared. All my wallpapers are now listed when I go to display properties. I have no idea what happened to change this back to the way it was. Thanks, everyone, for your help and advice. If you ever figure out what the problem might have been, I sure would like to know, in case it happens again.
