Thanks -- I followed your link and finally figured out how to reverse the last effects
of a recent trojan/spyware attack. It had created a "wallpaper" registry line and
set it to c:\wp.bmp (a blue windows-error-mimicing page, telling me to run any available
spyware program... a phony version of which had been conviently installed as a dsktop
link), and then set the NoDispBackgroundPage registry to 1. So, even once I found
and deleted the wp.bmp file itself I couldn't switch the wallpaper to anything else,
and couldn't even access the "desktop" tab in the properties menu. Now all's well.
