At one point in time I got a virus on my computer. After clearing my computer and installing my programs back on to my computer, I could not open my display folder for some reason. I cannot change my screen saver or my background because I cannot access this folder. Please help. |

It's called "applet". See if the following command helps, from Start/Run: DESK.CPL This should open the Display Properties dialog, with the Themes tab selected by default. -- Regards, Ramesh Srinivasan, microsoft MVP [Windows XP Shell/User] Windows® XP Troubleshooting http://www.winhelponline.com "Hev" <Hev@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:155A30F3-A8B6-477E-9C6F-660F0DBA5480@microsoft.com...

That did not do anything. Is there another possible way? Thanks again for your help. "Ramesh, MS-MVP" wrote: > It's called "applet".
