The only thing I am able to do is change the color of my background.
When I select a picture to set to my background, the icons on the
desktop just flicker. I am unable to select an actual picture when in
the desktop properties. Any clues?

Oh and one other thing, the selection under the desktop properties is
greyed out. I tried the solution from the other guys thread but I am
not able to edit the wallpaper files under the local file because it's
not there. Does that mean I deleted something?

A friend of mine's Computer has the exact same problem, does a back ground
picture come up when you load windows & shutdown?

i have that problem as well but when i shutdown and restart it dosent do
anything. i really want to know how i can fix this problem. it drivves me
insane!
 
I've found that under the key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\
only thing that should be there is Explorer with a key name of
"NoDriveTypeAutoRun" and Data of 0x00000091 (145) - far as i can tell,
that's the only thing that should be under policies. Once I removed (deleted)
two other file names, My Tabs where restored. I believe this was caused by
Malware\Virus or SpySherif.
