Default Customize Desktop missing from right click on desktop


I am facing this peculiar problem

Was installing Sonic Sounde Forge 6.0 and after that I saw that my "My Computer" icon from the desktop went missing. No biggie, just right click on the desktop and select properties, but when I did that I found this




Can't get the My Computer Icon, can't change the wallpaper, just 2 options Shown, Screensaver and Settings !!!

What happened to rest of the options

Any ideas how to bring it back to the original self.

OS - Windows XP SP2

Appreciate all the help that can be given here

Open NotePad, and copy the contents of the below "Code" box:-
Code:
regedit /e test1.txt "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies"
regedit /e test2.txt "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies"
copy test1.txt + test2.txt = info.txt
del test1.txt
del test2.txt
Go to File Menu > Save As, and save the file with the name Test.bat and exit from NotePad.

Double-Click on the file Test.bat, a small DOS type window should open and close immediately.
After this, there would be a file called Info.txt in the same location where Test.bat was present. Open the Info.txt and post it's contents here.

Navigate to

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\System

If there is a DWoRD Value such "NoDispScrSavPage" with a data value of 1 this will disable the screen saver tab. Change the value to 0 or delete it to see the tab again.

see MS data Base..
