windows XP does not have a background tab. you need to go to the desktop tab in the display properties to change the desktop image.

I wanted to change my background and I know I can right-click and put "Set as Wallpaper" but then I can't change the effect (tile, center, stretch)...

Well, under the Desktop tab I have the option to change the wallpaper and make it Center, Tile, or Stretch.

I wasn't being sarcastic. I'm at work right now but I sent the link to my home email so I'll try it when I get home. I don't get off for another 40 minutes though..
