I had this problem, or something very like it, and it turned out that (god knows
how) a setting in Tweak UI had somehow been corrupted.
It baffled me for ages, until I was using the Tweak UI tool one day to do something
else, and noticed that one of the settings had changed. This was months ago, so I
can't quite remember the details, but it might have been the "shell enhancements"
option on the IE tab.
I do remember that somehow Tweak UI had contrived to disable some of the options
that ought to have been present when I right-clicked on the desktop and selected
"properties". (It may be relevent that I use Tweak UI with "Active Desktop" disabled).
Re-ticking (or unticking, saving, and re-ticking) the relevent box in Tweak UI was
an easy cure for the problem.
All of which is a rather long-winded way of saying that some viruses can corrupt
Tweak UI - shame on them!
