An Error Occurred In The Script On This Page 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.

I've tried browsing to C:\Documents and Settings\%my-user-name%\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer and changing, deleting or replacing the Desktop.htt file, but it's not achieving anything. The error I was previously getting when http://superuser.com/questions/97029/active-desktop-cannot-be-restored-on-win-xp trying to click the "Restore my active desktop" button was: Internet Explorer Script Error An error has occurred in the script on this page.

The ability to restore Active Desktop if software or the operating system stops responding is no longer supported. Source If you're using IE6, then keep in mind that *.htt files are a not uncommon means to infect a system, scan for viruses and malware. share|improve this answer answered Jan 18 '10 at 0:30 Molly7244 add a comment| You must log in to answer this question.
