missing display tabs

If a trojan/virus has removed my Desktop and Screen saver tabs from Desktop
properties, how can I get them back?

I am using XP64

Hi,

Try the follow steps:
-Create the system restore before following the steps

.. Open Registry Editor (start->run->regedit)

2. Browse to following folder:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Policies\System

3. Check the value of the following keys:
· NoDispAppearancePage
· NoDispBackgroundPage
· NoDispScrSavPage
· NoDispSettingsPage
If any of these keys have value as 1 , set the value to 0

4. Close registry editor and check display properties. There is no need to
restart
the system

Thanks Muzafar, your instructions were very clear. I recently had a virus
that loaded a fake blue screen of death. I ran virus scan to remove the virus
and then noticed the screen saver tab was missing. Your steps restored my
dispaly settings, thanks for your help.
