From one day to the next, I right click my desktop and go to properties and

all I see is appearance, themes, and settings, NO DEKTOP TAB?!?! I can no

longer "center," "tile," or "stretch," my photos for my desktop wallpaper. I

have run numerous virus scans, they come back clean. I run ad-ware as well as

spyware and what ever does show up I delete. Then restart my computer and the

desktop tab is still gone. I tried to "system restore" back to when I know I

had it, but there were no days and it wont let me go back a month. Please,

please can someone tell me how to get this back? I am running windows

XP...and my email is timothyra81@yahoo.com, please email me if you can help.

Thank you very much

Cyberstalking is a crime. If you had one as bad as I did simply ignoring

them is not an option.

Hi Tim

 

Try this fix from MVP Kelly Theriot's site:

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

Line 128 in the right-hand column:

Restore Desktop and Screensaver Tabs

 

There are instructions at the top of the page that tell you how to use

the file. Good luck! Hope this helps.

 

P.S. Kelly is a real MVP whose site and files are totally safe and can

be vouched for by all the regular posters here; the guy posting as "The

Real Truth MVP" is *not* one, but a sad person pretending to the title

to draw unwary newcomers to his site. You might wish to steer well clear

of him.

Kudos to you Kelly for the great site.

 

We also know that PCBUTTS1 (Christopher Butts) plagiarized one of your VBS scripts from

Kelly's Korner :-(
