Nice pictures for dt backgrounds in Vista RC1 but I prefer plain black
desktop... I can't see where to select No Desktop Background... I use Classic
Desktop on my main computer with XP Pro, but am using default bells and
whistles and eye candy for the Vista. Is this possible to disable with
XP/Vista themes/visual settings??

In Desktop background, change the drop-down to Solid Colors and choose
black.

How about 'Control Panel' 'Appearance and Personalization' 'Personalization'
'Desktop Background' and select 'Solid Colors' under the 'Picture
Location'....try 'Black' (Also, right click the Deskop, 'Personalize'
'Desktop Background', etc)
