In Microsoft Windows7 Starter edition there is no option to change the desktop background as
“The image is locked to the BetaFish, locked by a hash and referred to in Shell32.dll so there's no way around it”
No, there is way around it.
1. Open regedit(Start>Run>Type Regedit or Start>All programs>Accessories> Command Prompt )
2. Go to “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\” folder and click on it
3. On the right hand side find there are a bunch of entries. Find the key named “wallpaper” and double click on it and put the path of the picture you want as your new wallpaper (example path is “C:\Users\Bob\Pictures\new_wallpaper.jpg”)

5. Click “Advanced”
6. Go to “Owner” tab, highlight your name in the box that says ‘Change owner to’ ( There are only two choices the other is Administrator )… once your user name is highlighted click “OK”
7. Click on “Advanced” again
