Ok posting this here because I didnt see the appropriate place to put it, I gave my 8 year old son my old HP to play/ learn on, the other night he was on some kind of pokemon site and save a pic to the desktop, 2 problems 1st hes not supposed to save, download anything w/ out my approval, 2nd I cammot get rid of the desktop pic/ background through >properties > desktop... in short no matter what I do the "pokemon" desktop refuses to go away, any advice? this gawdy pic needs to go!
tnx in advance.
