Display Properties - Windows XP

I post answers on Yahoo! Answers regularly. Recently, I have seen few questions regarding Display properties of Windows XP. You can reach to Display Properties by right click on blank space on Desktop or go to start then click on Control Panel where you can get Display Properties. They asked about Display Properties, disable Screen Saver tab, disable Desktop tab etc. The system Administrator or some modified viruses/maleware are the reason of disable Display Properties and its features. You get following error message when your Display Properties disable by any reason(see screen shot).

It is nothing but just a registry trick. You can yourself make it enable or disable as per your requirements.
