So to fix this, right click the Desktop folder in regedit and select Permissions. Then make sure Everybody is highlighted and check the box that says Allow Full Control. After this, you will be able to change the contents of the Wallpaper key like before. After editing them, open the Permissions again and uncheck the Full Control box so that it looks like it did before. If you don't do this, the contents of the key will be deleted when you log off/restart and you will get a black background.

Not only that, but now Windows 7 has fixed it so you get a black screen of death. As in, you can't even load the shell. Right click does nothing, trying to call up the task manager does nothing, trying to call up the run command does *nothing*

I highly recommend making a restore point before messing around with the wallpaper. I did not, and even though I backed up my registry, I had to go back to the very basic restore point from when I got the computer. I had to go through re-installing all my programs & settings, and uninstalling that stupid McAffe.

Granted, had I perhaps been more cautious and went back and verifyed I put everything back correctly, I wouldn't be in this spot. But for those, who like me, tend to be careless and mess around with this with the half assed "Oh, I can fix it if it all goes wrong," I do hope you heed my advice.

I am sorry for your trouble. However when I made the same mistake as you did, I did get a black background, but everything else works. I used the Windows 7 starters that comes with Eee PC 1001.

Want to know what the worst part is? it even taunts you, when you right click an image it give you the option to "set a desktop background" and in paint it also gives you that option. Microsoft i really don't know what you were thinking on this one, and the fact that it gives you the option to change it but you still cant, leads me to believe this was one almighty ****-up.

ive had my netbook for 8months now and im just now realizing it. no im actually very computer savvy but i always just right clicked, didnt see propertys so i just thot "ill figure it out later" but tonight ive been going thru and cleaning up the netbook an finally realize there actually is no way to do it and...im really mad, i mean for christ sake not only do i feel like a moron now for somehow letting this escape my attention even tho i rarely use my netbook but...i payed 250$ for something thats costed you guys 0.35$ to make in china and i cant even have the simple luxery of personalizing my netbook?. i understand its the start version but i cant think of any reason a decision like "no wallpapers" would be made unless it somehow benifits microsoft money wise or you just wanted to make people mad...option A seems more likly and im extremely dissapointed that microsoft would stoop to such levels. just because the principile this is based on im tempted to leave microsoft products behind and go to linux.
