I am unable to highlight/click on the desktop display properties to change
the wallpaper of my desktop. Any suggestions of what may be causing this and
how do I rectify this?

Click to expand...

= Right click Desktop select Properties and on the Display properties click on
Desktop Tab then click Customize Desktop.
On the Desktop Items click on Web Tab and be sure all boxes unchecked there.
Then click on Appearance Tab then Effects button. On the Effects window be
sure the settings been set to suite your requirements.

Also on the Registry:
Open a run command and type in:
regedit.exe click [OK
[-]HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\ActiveDesktop=
In the right Pane/Window locate and Double click the value named
"NoChangingWallpaper" Set it to (0)
[-]HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\ActiveDesktop=
In the right Pane/Window locate and Double click the value named
"NoChangingWallpaper" > Set it to 0

HTH.
