ok heres the deal.
lately my computer has been acting up. (this is shortly after installing some custom theme) cant remember which one though.
Anyway. i got tired of it all and romoved everything and set it all to defaults cause the custom stuff was getting old.
so after i un installed it all my background can only be a color. i cant change the picture no matter what i do. ive installed windows blinds tryed then un installed. ive ran virus scans i cant figure out what is wrong. i cant even select a picture for my background all choices are greyed out.
but occasionally like when im shuting down or logging on it will show the image for a breif second.
do you know whats wrong?
PLEASE HELP.

Rumour has it that yrag wants an extension built on his house; a greenhouse built; his driveway paved; a new fence around his property; the old car in his garage restored to mint condition; a new in-ground pool with diving board; his bedrooms, lounge and dining rooms renovated, and someone to put in up to 20 hours per week at his work so he has more time to tinker with puters....
"forever in your debt" is a very long time, so you've oodles to tackle all this...
but if I were you, I'd get started straight away, cos he's bound to think of more before you're through.

Yrag may just prefer cash...you never know.
Yrag definately knows his Windows stuff. As I spend the bulk of my time in Linux I'm not overly knowledgeable about Windows. I'e learned a lot from his posts.

It will automatically extract to c:\desktopclean where it needs to be to run and will automatically run the cleandesktop.vbs script
If it doesn't open then go to c:\desktopclean and double click on the cleandesktop.vbs.
If you have script blocking enabled you will get a warning about a malicious script wanting to run. Allow this script to run. It is not malicious.
If you get a message when you first run it "Can not find script file *.*" just double click the cleandesktop.vbs script again.
It will then kill Explorer. You will lose your taskbar and desktop. It will repair the registry entries returning your normal desktop and context menu functions.
It will auto restart Explorer.
