I have had issues with the display tab and themes for a while. Whatever I did
may have deleted the desk.cpl file. Where can I get this to repair this
problem? XP Pro SP2
 
What "issues" do you have?

What exactly did you do ("Whatever I did...")?

No need to wonder if you deleted desk.cpl -- look for it in
C:\Windows\system32.

My point is: Do not guess with a computer (unless you have a backup of
your system.) Instead, ask. I've already made every mistake you've made,
along with mistakes that would never even occur to you.
 
Not always such an 'easy task' -- you don't know what important changes
to the system were made during that 'day or two' that the OP would not
want to lose. It's always better to proceed on the basis of knowledge,
if possible. (It's not always possible.)
