Desktop Wallpaper keeps going back to the standard wallpaper after reboot

I updated to 10.8 and for some reason my desktop wallpaper will default to the Galaxy wallpaper whenever I restart or shutdown. I will change the wallpaper to something else, restart or shutdown and the Galaxy wallpaper will be back. I re-installed mountain lion and it has not resolved the issue. Anybosy experiencing the same issues?

MacBook Pro (15-inch Mid 2010), OS X Mountain Lion

Open Terminal (Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app) and paste this command


rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Desktop.plist


press 'return' on the keyboard.


Log out, log back in again. Change the wallpaper to what you want. Log out, log back in once more to test.


Any improvement?
