I downloaded a wall paper scene for my desktop and can't get rid of it. I
can select another wallpaper, change themes or even uninstall downloaded
themes; nothing gets rid of this wallpaper.

The strange thing is it only appear on my account; not on the desktop of
other user of this pc.

Is there any way to get rid of this wallpaper?

Look for the image file in C:\Windows\Resources\Themes. If you find it there,
then delete it.

perhaps log in as administrator and try and uninstall the software,
also scan your pc for malware as the software could be a virus/spyware.

Flamer.

Download MULTI_AV.EXE from the URL --
http://www.ik-cs.com/programs/virtools/Multi_AV.exe

To use this utility, perform the following...
Execute; Multi_AV.exe { Note: You must use the default folder C:\AV-CLS }
Choose; Unzip
Choose; Close

Execute; C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT
{ or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS }

NOTE: You may have to disable your software FireWall or allow WGET.EXE to go through your
FireWall to allow it to download the needed AV vendor related files.

C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT -- { or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS}
This will bring up the initial menu of choices and should be executed in Normal Mode.
This way all the components can be downloaded from each AV vendor's web site.
The choices are; Sophos, Trend, McAfee, Kaspersky, Exit this menu and Reboot the PC.

You can choose to go to each menu item and just download the needed files or you can
download the files and perform a scan in Normal Mode. Once you have downloaded the files
needed for each scanner you want to use, you should reboot the PC into Safe Mode [F8 key
during boot] and re-run the menu again and choose which scanner you want to run in Safe
Mode. It is suggested to run the scanners in both Safe Mode and Normal Mode.

When the menu is displayed hitting 'H' or 'h' will bring up a more comprehensive PDF help
file. http://www.ik-cs.com/multi-av.htm

Right click a blank area of the Desktop | Properties | Desktop tab |
Customize Desktop | Web tab | Uncheck any items for web content on the
desktop.
