My desktop background has a non-descript picture covering my desktop picture, and a second one quarter screen size covered it. How can I solve this problem? Thank you, a 70-year-old, new user

Right click the desktop and select Properties. Go to the Desktop page and
click the Customize Desktop button. On the next screen that appears, click
the tab labeled Web Items. If there is an image file in the list of web
items, uncheck the box for it. "OK" your way back to the desktop (click OK
to accept changes and to dismiss the layers of configuration screens).
