A buddy of mine needs help...

Somehow he has managed to make his desktop wallpaper a video clip like a .gif file. It's constantly redrawing at full frame rate very slowly. Need to get rid of it asap. He said he'd made it an active desktop but cannot figure out how to get rid of it now. Any ideas???

UPDATE: He finally figured it out. Admins may delete this.

Under display properties switch to a desktop background that is non active. Then disable the active desktop.
