click "Restore my Active Desktop" I get the following error: "An error has occured in a script on this page: Line 65 Char 1 file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/My%20Name/Application%20Data/Microsoft/Internet%20Explorer/Desktop.htt" I've googled this and the only solution I can come up with is to delete the Desktop.htt file. I looked for this in the location above but the file isn't there!? I've made sure hidden files are shown. I did a system search for this file, and it drew a blank.

Has anyone got any ideas how to solve this? Thanks... middo 2006-11-09 10:21:09 UTC #2 I've got the same problem here, on a domain with 70 users! I'm currently talking with Microsoft tech support https://www.sitepoint.com/community/t/active-desktop-recovery-desktop-htt-problem/2890 about this problem. It appears to a problem somewhere in the local profile in Documents and Settings which is not compatible with IE7. I have found two ways to fix the problem so far - Uninstall IE7 Login as an administrator and delete the users profile, when the user logs back in a new profile is created, but obviously you lose all the program settings - not the best way but it works middo 2006-11-09 16:25:12 UTC #3 Update, have now sorted a fix for this problem run regedit find this entry - HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Desktop\SafeMode\Components change the key value - DeskHtmlVersion REG_DWORD 0x00000110(272) to decimal zero Close regedit log off and log back on.

Desktop Recovery problem Discussion in 'Software' started by Balvedius, Apr 25, 2012. Balvedius Private E-2 Hello, I'm using an XP with SP3 and I've been searching the internet for a fix to this problem (using another pc to http://forums.majorgeeks.com/index.php?threads/active-desktop-recovery-problem.257911/ do so) and everything that I've come across hasn't been working. Recently after my computer freezing and telling me that there was no input to the screen, I restarted my computer, and upon it rebooting I was given the "Active Desktop Recovery" on my desktop. At this point the things I can do involve: Clicking the button that says "Restore my Active Desktop" however I am then given a script error Internet Explorer Script Error Line: 65 Char: 1 active desktop Error: Object doesn't support this action Code: 0 URL: file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Owner/Applications%20Data/microsft/Internet/Desktop.htt Do you want to continue runnibg scripts on this page? Yes/No Or something very similar.(No matter what I select nothing works) I've seen suggestions on how to fix the problem that involve going into Run>regedit and changing a certain value, deleting the desktop.htt file and rebooting, right clicking the desktop and changing the resolution/background picture and as much as I would love to do this, I can't. The only active desktop recovery thing I can do is click the "Restore Active Desktop" button where I get the error mentioned above and that's it. Right clicking causes the mouse to change into the hourglass and nothing happens, pushing the windows button and attempting to go into either Run/Control Panel makes it look like the Windows panel is still there but from then on I cannot click anything and the computer acts frozen however I can still move the mouse around. So basically I am unable to recover the desktop due to the error, and cannot attempt to try to fix the error because it freezes before I can open any of the required windows. If I find my Windows CD and insert it, is there anything I can do while the computer is starting up that could possibly fix this while still keeping all of my data? Balvedius, Apr 25, 2012 #1 sach2 Major Geek Extraordinaire Hi, It seems that changing the desktop wallpaper will fix the problem. Can you get into Safe Mode or Safe Mode with command prompt by pressing F8 repeatedly as you start your computer? That might allow you to try to edit the registry or try to change the desktop wallpaper. If that doesn't work then I think you may have to use an offline registry editor by burning a bootable CD or boot from a linux CD and delete/rename the probl
