Change registry key to 0 instead 272 look like solve my problem but the problem appear again on the next boot, so i have to change DeskHtmlVersion key again again and again everytime my computer run.

IE7 is a little bit incompatible with the old profile you may have had already. Since this file is automatically generated by windows, the best fix is to delete the old one[s] and let windows create a new one. To do this open an explorer window and go to tools > folder options > view, and uncheck hide protected opsys files. Apply and ok. Then do a search in your sys drive [usually c: ] for desktop.htt. It will be in Docs and Settings\User\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer. Delete them [it, whatever...]. Close the explorer window, rclick your desktop and click Refresh, and then go back and RECHECK that box. you really don't want those special files exposed all the time!! 2 Discussion Starter odegani 9 Years Ago desktop.htt pretty much controls the size and position of your desktop.

Contact Us Giveaways Q&A RSS Feed October 18, 2016XP Not Restoring Active Desktop September 23, 2012 by Chris Davis 96 Comments Active Desktop Recovery not restoring back to your desktop? It's a fairly common problem. You click the ever inviting Restore my Active Desktop button, but nothing happens. You still have that ugly white Active Desktop being displayed. When I run into this problem, I have two methods I use to fix it. Active Desktop Recovery Fix Method 1 Right click on a blank area of the desktop and select Properties. 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 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. Method 2 Open up your registry: Start -> Run *Warning: Be careful what you are doing when in the registry. It's very easy to make your computer non-usable if you edit the wrong entry. Type regedit Expand the 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. Then press OK. Close out of Registry Editor, click in a blank area of your desktop, and press F5 to refresh the screen. You should be back at your normal background/wallpaper.
