Missing Tabs in Display Properties

I recently had a virus that among other things put it's own wallpaper on my
desktop. I've been able to eradicate the virus, and even delete the
wallpaper file. However, I had to do that manually through Explorer. When I
bring up the Display Properties window, either from right-clicking my desktop
or from Control Panel > Display, I'm missing the Desktop and Screen Saver
tabs. I would expect there's a place in the registry to turn these on/off -
just can't seem to find where. Suggestions?
