Use this to hide the Background tab under Control Panel >Display, to prevent users from changing desktop background and wallpaper settings. Hit Start, click Run and type Regedit {enter}. Navigate down to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System Edit/create the value "NoDispBackgroundPage" (DWORD value) and set the value to "1" (without quotes) to hide the Background tab. To re-enable the tab, set the value to "0". The setting will take effect immediately and does not require a reboot.
