View 1 RepliesNo I had never changed it. I had downloaded a pic and wanted it as my desktop and noticed it was gone. I am unsure how long the option was missing.

The problem is:How can I set an image as the background for a folder (eg, when open this folder in Windows Explorer, the image appear as the background on the right pane). I saw that in some machines (WinXP), the desktop has a portion that I think is an HTML file (because it has hyperlinks and other content in it). When I change the desktop background picture, the picture changed, but the HTML portion is still there

Normally you would find the images that come with the PC and the image you already have on the screen, well on my PC it used to show that now it is showing all of the pics in the "My Pictures" folder. What could be the problem, i went to the desktopicon in my System32 folder and there is nothing on the notepad?

View 4 Replies View RelatedOne of the best features of Win XP is to use any image from any image folder as your desktop background, wallpaper. For some reason this feature has stopped working and of course I have no idea why. I haven't changed any folder options or made any changes for that matter.

This is also the same background that appears during the Windows start and shutdown sequence, before/after the desktop appears.

View 14 Replies View RelatedI managed to set the background image and the font color in a file system folder, when I was running WinME - I seem to remember it being an Active Desktop thing. OK, so I migrate to XP (SP2) and now I want to change the attributes of that folder back to standad - it's a legibility issue... :-) However... I can't for the life of me find where to change either the font color or the folder background image. Note: It's NOT the folder icon or the folder miniature I'm talking about, nor a mail folder.

View 4 Replies View Relatedwhen I open my Display Properties and move to the Desktop tab and choose Browse to choose a picture to set as my background, after I have selected Open and the box closes, the Apply button is unavailable and the image I chose does not appear in my list or in the preview. I've also taken notice that certain images that were once in the list of available backgrounds images, such as Ascent, Autumn and Azul no longer appear to be available. Right clicking on an image and choosing Set as desktop background does not work, and neither does choosing the same option from the Picture Tasks. Does anybody have any idea what has happened and how I can restore whatever settings I may have changed without applying a system restore?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI noticed that my Windows' "Desktop background (wallpaper) image" no longer displays correctly. After selecting any image (normally, I use one of my .jpg's), and setting it to "stretch," it will not display the "stretched" version to fit the image dimensions fully. It no longer "shrinks or expands" to fit the horizontal, actual size of the image to the width of my monitor's display area.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a full HD image of my Dell c800 Laptop using Drive Image 7 (circa 2003) to an USB HD. I have tried twice and received failures about my HD having bad sectors OR locked sectors. I ran check disc with repair and did not find any problems. Re-ran check disc from the boot disc that came with the application and found no problems with the disc. Tried again for a backup and received the same error. I am thinking it is one of the programs I have loaded has a locked sector or one of my processes that loads during boot is the problem?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI recently fixed my parents� computer and while I was at it I upgraded their OS from Windows Me to Windows XP Home Edition (no service pack). After I did I got the User Selection Welcome Screen at start-up asking me to select the account I want to use (even though there�s only one to choose!). This happened to me on my own computer when I upgraded XP Pro so I thought I knew what to do to get rid of it. I went to Kelly�s Korner (http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm) and used the �Add ControlUserPasswords2 To Control Panel� registry addon to get the User Accounts 2 icon.
View 2 Replies View RelatedThe "All Programs" selection has disappeared in the menu. This is on my friends computer, which has XP Pro. I use HE, so I'm not that familiar with the nuances of Pro, so it may just be a setting that's unique to Pro. He has the other selections on the menu, and the desktop icons, and also can get the programs to list if he switches to the "Classic Start Menu" on the taskbar properties menu. But on the regular XP menu, there's a space where the "All Programs" selection would be, but it's blank. And hovering the pointer over that space still does not bring it up.
Since the listing of the programs DOES show up with the Classic menu, that's why I'm thinking it's just a setting. I've poked around in the Customize>General tab and the Advanced tab, but none of that stuff seems to work (it doesn't seem pertinent to the situation either). Now two other posts that I've made here may be pertinent to this issue.
I'm just curious if what is ideal for file system when formatting a hard drive is it NTFS or FAT32 the OS is WinXP Pro. Please explain it to me in a way that I can easily understand the difference and importance of the two. Many thanks for any replies.

Can I bypass this? There must be a setting somewhere.
