Hi Joe,
Thanks for posting here.
I just heard about your posting alias was not correctly recognized as a
TechNet subscriber. Sorry for any inconvenience, but please rest assured
that my colleagues are working on this problem and you will get a
satisfying answer as soon as possible.
At present, let's focus on your technical concern here.
>From your post, my understanding of this issue is: You have a GPO setting
on a Windows SBS 2003 that has removed the background/desktop settings for
user/computer accounts. You would like to know how to remove this GPO. If
this is not correct, please feel free to let me know.
I think you are talking about the following policy:
"Hide Desktop tab" under
User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Control Panel\Display
This policy removes the Desktop tab from Display in Control Panel. This
setting prevents users from using Control Panel to change the pattern and
wallpaper on the desktop. Enabling this setting also prevents the user
from customizing the desktop by changing icons or adding new Web content
through Control Panel.
If you set this policy on Local Computer Policy, you may run "gpedit.msc"
and then locate preceding policy and set it to "Disabled" or "Not
configured".
If you meant this is a domain GPO and you don't know which GPO contains
this policy or which OU(s) is linked to this GPO, it will be a little
difficult, but you may use a great tool - Group Policy Management Console
(GPMC) to help you find and edit / unlink / remove this GPO.
You may find more information about how to download and use GPMC from the
following Microsoft website:
Enterprise Management with the Group Policy Management Console
<http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/gpmc/default.mspx>
You also may find some demos in Demos section from above webpage. I
believe you will learn more about GPO and GPMC from these interactive demos:

Hope this helps.
Have a nice day!
