Control Panel: Desktop Pattern/Color Scheme Not SavedLast reviewed: November 23, 1994Article ID: Q59666 |
The information in this article applies to:
SYMPTOMSAfter you modify your Microsoft Windows desktop, the custom patterns and color schemes aren't saved when you exit Windows.
CAUSEThe Windows Control Panel saves its Desktop patterns and custom color schemes in a file called CONTROL.INI. However, it does not verify that information was successfully written to the file. Therefore, if CONTROL.INI is missing, corrupted, or marked Read-Only (perhaps on a read-only network directory), color schemes and desktop patterns are lost.
RESOLUTIONVerify that CONTROL.INI is valid and that it can be written to.
STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed this to be a problem in version 3.0. This problem was corrected in later versions of Windows.
