    superimposed pic on desktop

    I was viewing a slide show on Snapshot, then my computer shut down. After I restarted, there was the last picture I viewed superimposed onto my desktop, along with my normal icons. How do I get rid of that picture? I deleted the picture from my files, but it is still there. Any suggestions? Help!

    Hi- Richc46- Couldn't he\she, also just right click on the desktop and select personalize and then change the theme? I'm assuming that is what was changed.

    If not tried yet that would work. I assumed, maybe incorrectly, that was done when he deleted the pic.

    Richc46- I was surprised the system restore you recommended didn't fix it.
