Restore My Active Desktop Script Error Regedit
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. http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/165617/active-desktop-recovery-error/ 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.

I'm currently talking with Microsoft https://www.sitepoint.com/community/t/active-desktop-recovery-desktop-htt-problem/2890 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.

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 active desktop recovery 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.
