There is a registry key called something like NODESKTOPSHOW under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer in Win2K. Value 1 enables, & 0 disables the desktop tab in display properties.
Had a quick look in regedit (WinXP), but couldn't locate any such key (then again mine hasn't been disabled.)
If you can't find it, & you back up your registry 1st, it couldn't hurt to try creating the key yourself (think it's a DWORD) and set the value to 0. You'll need admin privileges to do this.
Maybe someone else could step in here and throw some light on where it lives now?:confused:
 
If it is a policy setting, this one would have the shown effect

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ Software\ Microsoft\ Windows\ CurrentVersion\ Policies\ System
DWORD: NoDispBackgroundPage = 1

Which program did you uninstall?

So you don't have this key at the moment? Check the same location but not in HKEY_CURRENT_USER but in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.

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???
