This is most commonly caused by malware or a virus. Did you have a problem
like that? Is the computer clean?

Be sure:

If you are sure the computer is clean:

Go to the Display applet in Control Panel and look on the Desktop tab. Click
on Customize Desktop, and then click on the Web tab. You will see that
there are checkmarks next to "My Current Home Page" and probably "Lock
Desktop Items". Uncheck these. Click Apply and OK out when you've made your
changes.

If you can't enable desktop backgrounds after a virus, MVP Kelly Theriot has
a fix. Look under Wallpaper-Desktop-Disable Changing here:

If Display tabs are missing, run Kelly's registry edit on line 285,
right-hand side "Restore all display tabs".

If you need more help, please go to this site to see what details you need
to include in your next post:
