July 6, 201015 yr Commercial Member Thought I would throw this one out there and see if you have come across this. Whenever I change my background, like to a solid black color, it always reverts back to some default photo. Same with a background theme. I change to one of the standard Windows 7 themes supplied and it too goes back to some default after rebooting. As far as I know I am the admin of this machine unless there is something I do not know about.

Themes are what's happening in Windows 7 and that is the default. When you move to just a solid background (and save the change), you have effectively removed the Themes background and to get it back you'll have to go in and select a theme and then close the Personalization window. For themes you don't need to save any changes.Jim
July 7, 201015 yr Author Commercial Member Thx Jim for the reply, but I forgot to mention that I do press SAVE when I change the background to a solid color but it makes no difference?
