Right click on desktop, select properties, desktop tab, select another
or a solid color.

Thanks, but the problem is when you first boot, the undesirable image loads
first, then the current wallpaper.

There are only two ways to present an image on the desktop - a boot
screen, or desktop wallpaper. What you are describing is a boot screen
that is presented only during boot and is replaced with the wallpaper
when the system is running. The boot screen image is contained in
C:/Windows/System32/NTOSKRNL.EXE, and this file is not readily editable
by users although it can be done. Your user most likely has some
utility that will make a boot screen and generate an acceptable
NTOSKRNL.EXE file to contain it. Google: XP boot screen - there are a
number of utilities that will edit the boot screen.

Otherwise, it is possible that if you run sfc[space]/scannow[enter] from
a command prompt that System File Checker will replace a modified
NTOSKRNL.EXE with an unmodified original.

Actually, if you set a wallpaper using IE, and then set a wallpaper from a
file, you get two wallpapers. the IE loads before the one from the file...
