Stupid me downloaded a spyware program that told me some reg files were
infected. I deleted some, which affected my desktop settings. Now instead
of the wedding pic I had for wallpaper, it's a blue background, but the pic
is there underneath, because it's there upon bootup. How can I restore the
options to change my wallpaper? I bring up the tab and all the original
options are not checkable. Please help!

Hello Jarod,
Try this:
Copy the text below between the dotted lines, but not the dotted lines
themselves. Open Notepad and paste it in. Save the result in a
suitable location as desktop.reg - making sure that the default .txt
extension doesn't appear in the file name.
Double-click on the saved .reg file to merge the contents.
Restart.
