    Why is my desktop background Minecraft?


    I restarted my computer the other day. Today, I log in and everything looks normal, even my desktop background. I just closed all my tabs and was SO confused when my background was an image of Steve playing in a field with Minecraft bees. Am I going insane? Did someone change my background? What is going on??

    :)

    Lost desktop background

    I did a Search & Distroy spyware scan the other day, and one of the suggested "fixes" said something about removing Active Desktop. Like the muppet I am I clicked yes and am now without a desktop background picture.

    Does anyone have an idea how to reverse this? If I try to select a picture it's simply not added as a background.

    Why is my desktop background Minecraft?

    Homegroup For Minecraft Servers Or What?

    It looks as if the existing minecraft server will use the new system without modification - It needs to be able to access the computers on the network in a two way link, which is the standard for Workgroup and Homegroup

    There is a complete step by step available, if you have any issues ...

    It's not something I have any direct experience with but a quick read suggests to me that you will not need to do Much if any reconfiguration of the existing server
