It's a fairly common problem. You click the ever inviting Restore my Active Desktop button, but http://pc-addicts.com/xp-not-restoring-active-desktop/ nothing happens.

Now select the Desktop tab, then press the Customize Desktop button. Here is the strange part. Make a change to the Desktop icons section by selecting or deselecting one active desktop of them, then press OK. Now press Apply. If Method 1 was going to work, your Active Desktop message should have disappeared and you should have your standard desktop back. If Method 1 did not work, try Method 2.

Type regedit Expand the active desktop recovery following: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Desktop\SafeMode\Components\ Double-click on DeskHtmlVersion, select the Decimal radio-button, and change the value from 272 to 0.

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).
