Solve : Stuck Desktop Background Colour?

Answer»

I have a rather odd question. My HP laptop desktop COLOUR is STUCK on this purplish colour I changed it to a few months back, something it's saved SOMEHOW as it's still there long after I've installed Windows 7. I can change the desktop image and the colour, etc, but whenever I restart my laptop the desktop colour reverts to that same purple. Any help/suggestions is/are appreciated. ^^I ought to mention also I've tried rebooting/restoring and at one person's suggestion deleted folder named ActiveDesktop under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies.I wouldn't take advice from someone suggesting deleting REGISTRY entries...

If ANYTHING I'd suggest try creating a different local profile on the machine to see if its user profile or system related. Quote

Yeah, honestly I wasn't pleased about that attempt either, but it seems to have had absolutely no effect on the problem (or my computer) whatsoever.

I've tried that now. The different local profile seems to have no problem changing the background at all and doesn't revert after restarting, so I'd imagine it must be just my profile. Thanks. ^^ Now, where to go from there...
