Hello,

My desktop background dissappears at system login. Someone else posted the same question but the solution has not been posted. Does anyone have a solution for the problem described below?


"Whenever I boot, my wallpaper is missing, replaced by a solid blue screen.
Everything else is fine. If I go into the Display Properties -> Desktop, it
shows the correct picture selected, and is called "Internet Explorer
Wallpaper" in the selection box. If I choose "none", the Apply, then choose
the correct one again, and Apply, it returns to the Desktop. Another reboot,
though, and it disappears again".

I remember a thread about this! It had to do with it being a "Internet explorer Wallpaper", somehow from what I remember they disabled that feature but not sure how?

Try this, save whatever picture you want to use as your background to a location of your choice (Ex: My pictures folder), then set your background to that picture in your Ex: My pictures folder, that way it does not rely on internet explorer.

Give it a shot, main thing with this being my guess is that you are setting pictures as your wallpaper off the net and its saving it in a temp folder and probably gets deleted after you reboot.
