Options to change wallpaper may be missing or unavailable on a Windows

XP-based computer:

Open a run command and type in:

regedit.exe click [OK] on the Registry Editor locate these Keys and make

the appropriate changes:

[-]HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\ActiveDesktop=

In the right Pane/Window locate and delete this entry

"NoChangingWallPaper" or change its value to 0.

 

[-]HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\ActiveDesktop]

In the right Pane/Window locate and delete this entry

"NoChangingWallPaper" or change its value to 0.

 

[-]HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System=

 

In the right Pane/Window, locate and delete these two entries "Wallpaper"

and "WallpaperStyle".

 

[-]HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

= In the right Pane/Window, locate and delete these two entries "Wallpaper"

and "WallpaperStyle".

Close the registry try the Display properties and chnage the wallpaper,

does it accept the changes?.
