Desktop Wallpaper Display (stretch, Title, Etc.)
Feb 1, 2009
I'm trying to change the way a wallpaper is displayed on the desktop (i.e. Stretch, Tile, Centred) but I can't. The wallpaper is always displayed stretched out and I can't change it to be tiled or centred.
The way I'm doing this (to no avail) is obviously to right-click the desktop, then choose "Personalize", then click on "Desktop Background", then click one of the three radio buttons at the bottom (in this case, either of the two on the right), then click "OK".

I just cleared my desktop because it was absolutely cluttered with icons and stuff, but now it's like the Icons are part of the wallpaper, because I can't click on them, can't drag them, and if I drag a different icon over it it's still there underneath the other one.

I really want to be able to have an SWF file as a wallpaper in vista (I got a killer idea) but I cant get it to work. Theres many programs to do it, but they are all for XP and before. A way I could do it would be to put it in html, but then that only works for XP and before too.

When I used to change my wallpaper I had 5 options to fit the image to the screen, cant remember them exactly but they were something like; Stretch to screen, fit horizontal, fit vertical, centered, and tiled. Why is it now that I only have; Centered, Tiled and stretch to screen?
Was this an update because this is really annoying!? It was much easier to fit the wallpaper to screen without stretching it when I could fit horizontal and vertical? Why can I not do this now?

This is a gadget that changes the wallpaper randomly. It was posted on the windows live gadget gallery, but now it seems to have disappeared. If anyone has the file and could send it to me.

I want to put one of my own pictures, centered as my desktop wallpaper. I can get the picture there ok, but if I try to set it as centered, all I get is the center of the picture as the wallpaper. If I try to tile the picture I get the top left hand corner of the picture as the wallpaper. It seems to be tiling or centering the screen on my picture, instead of tiling or centering my picture on the screen! Has anyone else come across this problem?

1. Windows Vista Home Premium wanted me to update so I did.
2. Update changed my desktop giving me new icons and a new wallpaper. But my files in My Pictures and My Documents were missing.
3. I used the Start Search to locate them and cut-pasted them into the My Pictures and My Documents folders in the new interface.
4. I shutdown my computer after I was done using it.
5. I turned on my computer again and Windows reverted back to the older (pre-update) interface.
6. I checked and to my luck the My Pictures and My Documents folders were empty again........

I have my desktop set up the way I like it and have my icons grouped in different parts of the screen and in an order that I like. Every so often, something happens like an error or booting into safe mode that sends all my icons to be aligned together starting in the upper left of my screen. Then I have to put them back in order. There appears to be some order in which they're realigned, but the order isn't consistent between the groups. How can I create a backup of my desktop display so that I won't have to move every icon back into place manually? Is there a file somewhere that I can copy back into place when this happens?

Some of the shortcuts on my desktop don't display properly, and display as a generic icon instead of the correct one. This is strange because I had specifically moved those shortcuts to C:UsersPublicDesktop and they all display fine on all users' desktops but mine.

I have a persistent box popping up every four minutes that is entitled 'Interactive services dialog detection' and which says 'A program can't display a message on your desktop', but gives no means of dispensing with it. It happened after I tried opening Lavasoft's Ad Aware program. Never seen this before.

If I'm not in the right group I apologise in advance.
Broadband speeds. I know it's easy to learn what the current speed at a
particular moment is by using one of the many people on the web providong
that service. What I cannot find and would find useful if I had it would be a
display - rather like the clock at the bottom RH corner, for instance. A
display that would show constantly what the speed is, or failing that, by
reacting to the cursor being on it.

Whenever I access a particular application, a message box tells me that "A program can't display a message on your desktop." The details on the message box say that there is a partial incompatibility with Vista. I can close the message box, but it continues to pop up every few minutes. The application program seems to work fine, however. The message box is just incredibly annoying!!! My Windows services are set for "Interactive Services" to use the "Manual" Startup Type, but the status is currently started. MY QUESTION: Is this simply a notification box only? Will stopping or disabling this service cause any security problems.... or will it simply halt the notifications?

What is the Vista equivalent to XP's?
--> Display properties,

And, is there a such thing as XP's "My Computer" icon in Vista?

For toolbars started in the Vista taskbar, how do you remove the Title? The option doesn't seem to exist any longer.
i.e. under older windows you could:
If you add one or two toolbars to your Windows taskbar, regain some space. Right-click on your created taskbar and on the popup menu that appears, uncheck "Show Title." This removes the title description for your taskbar. If you know the programs on the taskbar by their icon and don't need to see the names of the programs, uncheck "Show Text" as well.
Does this no longer exist in Vista and that I can no longer reclaim the space?

when I window, whether it be Firefox, any other program, or a Windows Explorer window isn't maximized, the transparent features work fine, and look nice. But when I make anything full screen (maximized), the title bar goes black and ugly.

I am new to NTSF file system. What is that padlock symbol by the file title and why there is nothing about that in Windows help? I searched using keyword: "padlock" with no results and "locked files" lead me to "Working with files and folders" and there is not even one mention about that. Is that so common thing everybody knows about that Microsoft does not bother to explain?

I'm trying to do something very simple - change my title bar color because the default colors for Active and Inactive title bar are almost the same. So I changed the Active Title bar color but it doesn't actually apply to any of the windows. Please see the attached screenshot.

I created a project on my home computer, then saved it to my jump drive. When I went to open the project on my laptop, I have the title screens and such, but none of the pictures, music, or video clips that I had imported into the project. What can I do to save EVERYTHING from one computer to the other?

In Windows Vista the window title and icon has been removed in all instances of Windows Explorer. The result is a blank space in the window that just does not look good where the window title normally is placed.
Using a cool free utility called AeroBar you can restore the window titlebar title and icon. To use the utility visit Outils (http://www.psscript.net/utils.htm) and download AeroBar.exe (http://www.psscript.net/AeroBar.exe).
Install is a snap. Just copy the utility to the Start Up folder of your start menu. If you want to also show the folder icons, just rename AeroBar.exe to AeroBarIco.exe ...

I've been running Vista now for over a year and ever since I made the switch, I've been annoyed, by how Vista deals with Wallpaper. I'm on using a widescreen monitor, with vista, it doesnt' resize the image to fit without stretching it. With XP, it would resize it while maintaining its proportions, but I can't seem to find a way to do that with vista.
