Missing Tabs in Display Properties

[pushpendra]

I was having a virus recently that among other things put its own wallpaper on my desktop. I was able to get rid of the virus and even delete the wallpaper file. But, I had to do that manually through Explorer. If I bring up the Display Properties window, either from right clicking on my desktop or from Control Panel > Display, I am missing the desktop and Screensaver tabs. I was expecting there is a place in the registry to turn these on or off, but just cannot seem to find where? Can anyone please help? Thanks.

Check if one of the registry solution fixes this issue from the below website:

Download from line 128, right hand column, Restore Desktop and Screensaver Tabs
Download from line 285, right hand column, Restore All Display Tabs

I was having some virus/malware in my computer today, and found a link to kellys corner. But can anyone tell me how to identify where it came from, since I was on a website when it happened searching for info on some drugs, I cannot remember the name of the website but I can tell something was happening and was trying to shut everything down very quickly? Please help.
