If someone could please help.........In changes some settings to my desktop I
have apparently covered my taskbar and icons with the wallpaper and cannot
access them. Also the right click to desktop properties is not functioning.
They are all there if I use ctrl alt del to get to my task manager and pull
up the files. I can open program windows through the task manager but cannot
find where to correct whatever I've done. I believe I did it through the
"display" icon in the control panel but cannot now get back to that. I think
I remember choosing an option of making the wallpaper full screen in this
section (not in the regular screensaver, wallpaper, settings, etc. window for
desktop properties). Thank you for any help.
