A friend of mine has done a very clever(stupid really)thing. He has somehow
managed to change the display properties to the same colour-BLACK-now he cant
see anything on his desktop. Can anyone tell me how he can change things back
to the way it was prior to the changes he made. He tells me its impossible to
see anything other than the cursor on the screen. Thanks Jim.

Tell your friend to restart his computer and boot into Safe
Mode. He may be able to simply change the display settings. If
that doesn't work, here's another option.

How to start the System Restore tool at a command prompt in
Windows XP

Good luck
