Curious thing, after clearing a virus (win32 patti b), the wallpaper will not remain as selected in Display Properties. The Wallpaper reverts to a default blue screen (not BSOD)after closing a full screen window, IE or Windows, or a restart/Shutdown.

Network ID is set to assume "John" as always logged on. This is a home network, (3) PC. Problem is peculiar to the only machine to have had a virus. Every thing works fine, no other problems.

Found the answer while browsing page two Q's. In gpedit msc> User Config> Admin Templates>Desktop>Active Desktop >Active Desktop Wallpaper was disabled.

Sorry for the unnecessary Post.
