Hi,

After the holidays, I decided to change my wallpaper, and find that
the Display|desktop tab is missing from Display. All the other tabs
are present. It was there a few weeks ago when I put in my Christmas
background.

While I can change the wallpaper by other means, that is where the box
is which allows you to select whether the image is centered, tiled, or
stretched. WINXP Home Edition

I have also run into the same problem with XP professional. I have searched the manuals and looked through the group edit options and still not found an answer. If you have found anything or if anyone out there can help I have reached wits end

Thanks.
 
Since I posted, I found a fix. Go to

http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

and search down for "Restore All Display Tabs" in the second column.
It is opposite #285 in the first column. It is a registry patch.
Just merge it, and all your missing tabs will be back.

Interesting that this is a common enough problem that there is a fix
available.

Click to expand...

It's unclear what the problem is, or exactly what patch you tried...

Click Kelly's link below, then "C". Scroll to...
"Common Tasks View - Disable or Enable"

Tried that?
