Post subject: Missing Tabs in Display Properties Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windowsxp>customize (more info?)
I recently had a virus that among other things put it's own wallpaper on my
desktop. I've been able to eradicate the virus, and even delete the
wallpaper file. However, I had to do that manually through Explorer. When I
bring up the Display Properties window, either from right-clicking my desktop
or from Control Panel > Display, I'm missing the Desktop and Screen Saver
tabs. I would expect there's a place in the registry to turn these on/off -
just can't seem to find where. Suggestions?

See if one of the registry fixes from this web site helps.

I got the same virus/malware? problem today, and found a link to kellys
corner - in notes here -- thank you.
Anyone know how to identify where it came from -- i was on a website when it
happened searching for info on the drug lovaza -- i don't remember the name
of the website as I could tell something was happening and was trying to shut
everything down as fast as possible. - s. burke
