Desktop Theme

[Guest hsmom314]

My mom has a computer running Windows XP. She installed some software for an

active desktop that bogged her computer down because of the memory required

for the active desktop. She has removed the software and selected the

Windows fall theme for her desktop. When her computer boots up, you can see

the theme then her screen changes to orange. It looks as though the theme is

behind this orange screen. Any advice to get rid of the orange screen?

See if this helps:

 

Go to Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to this key:

 

HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop

 

Locate the SCRNSAVE.EXE entry in the right pane and modify it to the one you

desire. SCR files are located in Windows\System32 by default, but you may

have some add-on screen savers in the Windows folder.

Go to Control Panel and double click the Display icon.

In Display Properties, click on the Desktop tab.

On the Desktop page, hit the "Customize Desktop" button.

This should bring up the Desktop Items dialog.

Click on the Web tab.

If there are any items listed in the Web pages box other than

"My Current Home Page", click on them and hit the Delete

button.

Remove the check mark from the box next to "Lock desktop

items".

Click OK twice.

 

Good luck
