Desktop Background Wallpaper - Change in Windows 7 Starter

Yes, exactly.

Add Everyone and allow read permisions seems important - as you are removing other permissions.

I think the importatnt bits are:

1. make sure your username is Owner.

2. Click Advanced and add Everyone - but only give read permisiion - okaying as neeeded.

3. Select Advanced tab again - select your username , ( I didn't tick the inheritable box - don't know if that would make any difference ) select Edit and deny everything except Read Control box - okaying as needed.

I might have forgotten something ( if so you will see from the screenshots ) - but that's the general idea.

Not really - they are changed to read only - can't get any safer than that.

It's not very practical for most people to attempt tho. - an app like oceanis is much easier.

Oceanis doesn't put the registry back to it's previous state when you uninstall it - - doesn't matter , as the last background you selected remains.

my desktop went black the pic i checked only shows when i open somthing it flashes the disipears how can i solve this
