Sorry - you are correct that the "Display" setting page sets the monitor
profile, which is the filter for how the monitor displays the colors it can
and does display.  I just tested my display by changing the color space to
Bruce RGB and there was no change.

But getting back to your original question, Photoshop displays color in
accordance with your instructions to it - you had instructed it to display
the colors as ProPhoto saw them and that is how they appeared.  When you
viewed the image as wallpaper, Windows saw and displayed the colors as sRGB
saw them.  Windows does not read the embedded profile.

One way to do it - open the image in Photoshop and then "Save to Web" - see
if you like it.  If not, convert the image to the sRGB space in Photoshop
and adjust it to you liking, then save it as wallpaper and for AcdSee.
