Active Desktop Recovery Internet Explorer Script Error Desktop.htt
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. I thought it might be a problem with my recent installation of IE7, but I've reinstalled this and it still doesn't make a difference. 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 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. This has worked for all our XP clients middo 2006-11-09 17:03:26 UTC #4 Heres a basic script to change the above registry setting HKEY_CURRENT_USER = &H80000001strComputer = "."Set objReg = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\default:StdRegProv")strKeyPath = "Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Desktop\SafeMode\Components"strValue = "0"ValueName = "DeskHtmlVersion"objReg.SetDWORDValue HKEY_CURRENT_USER, strKeyPath, ValueName, strValue copy this to notepad and save as activedesktop.vbs, then run the file, logoff then log back in again hope this helps danwednesday 2007-02-28 10:10:13 UTC #5 Sorry to bump this mega-old thread, but it happened to me again, and I was confused with editing the registry (sounds a bit serious for someone who knows nothing about that stuff). So I continued Googling and found a much simpler solution. Just right click desktop, select settings and change your screen resolution.

When I click on "Restore my active desktop button", I get a script error which says "Object doesn't support this property or method". The url field in the error popup box shows path to Microsoft/Internet Explorer/Desktop.htt file. However on going to that folder, there is no such file. How to resolve this issue? I do not have admin rights on the pc and thus can not open regedit. Is there any other way to solve this. Tried changing the desktop resolution and switching back. But this is also not working. windows windows-xp registry desktop share|improve this question asked Mar 29 '12 at 7:39 Vicky 3,4852382133 @downvoter: Its a common problem which we face...
