O.P. about:blank desktop?
I have a little problem in that I can no longer view my desktop. I have tried going through display properties and resetting things, but the desktop stays the same; a white blank screen that I believe is a web-page. The property details of it are: about:blank. I have no knowledge of how to remove the desktop and replace my own desired wallpaper in its place.
Could someone help? Thank-you.

How do you do that? I've often had that problem.

For some reason there is no option like that. When I right click the desktop I see options that are exactly the same as those I would see if I right clicked on a web-page.

Thats because active desktop is on.
