Navigate to >>>
User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Desktop\Active Desktop\
Active Desktop Wallpaper
[[Specifies the desktop background ("wallpaper" ) displayed on all users'
desktops.]]

User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Control Panel|Display\Desktop
Themes\
Remove Theme Option
[[If you enable this setting, it removes the Themes tab.]]
