Getting my wallpaper to stick

[PhiloVance]

For years I had the same wallpaper then I decided to change it. Now it keeps rotating pulling up themes I didn't know I had. I would like it to stick again.

Did you manually set a wallpaper again? Just Right-click on the image file and click Set as Desktop Background

Did you check Personalize in the Display Settings?

Right-click on the Desktop and click Personalize
Click on Desktop Background at the bottom
What is your Picture Location set to? If it is set to Windows Desktop Backgrounds, that's why you'd get a rotation.
You can click "Clear all" to uncheck all the pictures. And then you can choose the one you want.
Notice when you click "Clear all", the "Change picture every" field gets grayed out

ok I did that, will see how that works. Thanks.

Did not work; when I got to Personalize then there are 2 themes whereas before there was only one, and it's switched to the other one. I'm stuck.

Why don't you just delete the wrong one?

You can have multiple themes. Not sure why it would just switch on its own. You're sure it's the theme switching and not just the wallpaper?

[PhiloVance]

Yeah, I did delete the wrong one and checked the other to use it. Worked ok until I rebooted and its found another one and using it! Crazy

think it may be solved now. I removed a program called Webshots. We'll see....

That ought to do the trick seeing how its a program designed to auto change things like wallpaper

Sigh. Ya that's probably it. You should lead with that next time.
