    Desktop Background Slide Show
    « on: September 21, 2017, 11:16:24 PM »
    Hello, 

    I have a Dell desktop PC running Windows 7 Home Premium SP 1 2.33 Ghz Quad  4 Gb ram and a 64 bit OS.

    I set up the Desktop Background Slide show. I set the the slide show to change every seconds and hit save and the slide show works fine when the computer is on but when I shut the computer down and restart it the desktop Slide Show is deactivated and I have to set it up all over again.  This happen all time. Why is the desk top slide show not  being saved !?!?!?!?

    Is this a company computer or was it once a company computer that was bought used?

    If its not being saved to your user profile then it will set you back to what you had prior. It may be that its not locked out from configuration, but that its not saving to your user profile. If this is a company computer then you would need the admin of the network to assist with this one to allow for this to save to your user profile. If this was bought used as a decommissioned corporate computer then some registry tweaking may be needed and thats if your not locked out of that.

      bigal50,
      Can you create a new user profile?   :)
      That might be a simple fix, easier than trying to fix the registry.
