now, and there is a "ahtn web page" set as the background...I am unable to
change the background because the display tab is accessable, but cannot
choose a new background or color etc because it has been disabled.

I was going to try to go into the group editor to correct the problem with
the display tab....also, how do I repair or reinstall the display
properites
box so I can make changes to the desktop again???

again, alot happened. Again, remove it referenced the following message
c:\windows\system32\a.exe
"The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another
process"
"The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect"
One thing that was good, upon normal boot up the background corrected itself
for about 45 seconds then the invading background re-appears. I am still
unable to make any adjustments thru the display properties box, the web tab
is still missing..do you wish me to run another snapshot and email it to you ?
