Reset background images

[Crotia]

Hi, I was just wondering how to reset my background images to default. (i.e. start menu and alerts)

thx

if you installed a theme that contained a different background image i would try going into "REMOVE PROGRAMS" and uninstalling it from there. that usually works. :)

(START > SETTINGS > REMOVE PROGRAMS)

Start \ Settings \ Home Screen and change the value for background. ;)

Removed the theme with the backgrounds, didn't work :(

I even made a new background with ruttensoft homescreen creator and it didn't overwrite the old one :S

On the phone under Start / Settings / Home Screen - what is the value under Background image?

Hmm, not sure if this will help but I think this edited the registry, heres the code:
