i've been playing around with mmc on my network and some how on on of the computers i can no longer change the desktop wallpaper anymore. the option isn't there. i've gone back into mmc and changed all the settings back to not configured but it still won't work. any ideas?

by the way, i'm using windows 2000 pro
 
Have you accidently set policies on that machine?

Try this reg key:

HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop\Wallpaper

Try changing it there.

Or try these registry settings:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"NoDispBackgroundPage"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"NoDispBackgroundPage"=dword:00000000

last 1 = enable (policy)
last 0 = disable

With kind regards,
Willem Moolenaar

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
