   Start regedit, expand and highlight the following keys and look in the right   
   window for "WallpaperStyle".  If you find it, delete it.  You may have to   
   restart the computer for the change to take effect.   
      
   HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System    
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ CurrentVersion\Policies\System
