I enabled and started the Theme Service and selected Windows XP Theme. But for some reason Active Desktop is now disabled and I can't use JPEG or GIF files as wallpaper anymore. How do I fix this?
You must enable Active Desktop. To do that follow these steps:
- Click Start->Run and type
gpedit.msc
- Navigate to "User Configuration\Administrative
Templates\Desktop\Active Desktop"
- In the right pane, double click Enable Active Desktop
- Select Enabled, click Apply, click
OK
- Close the Group Policy Editor
If it is still not working, make sure that "Turn on Classic
Shell" in "User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows
Components\Windows Explorer" is not enabled.
