I clash with problem 'restore my active desktop'
Can any body help me
How can I get rid of this problem without deletion of my profile

What are you doing when this appears?

Any changes that either happened or that you perhaps made to your computer around the time that the problem started; particularly any software or hardware that you installed or setup.

What OS?

[trilochan]

OS is window xp
It automatically appear when user restart the computer after an window update
I am trying to remove it by desktop.htt
Also check web tab in desktop properties all the boxes are uncheck
Also check IE explorer > properties>security tab >custom level
But all in vain

[seahwk83]

Sorry, still don't see it. Is there an error message that comes up?

It automatically appear when user restart the computer after an window update

What exactly is appearing? Is it a message to restore active desktop?

If so, what are choices, just trying to know exactly what you are seeing.

[trilochan]

Yes it's the message to restore active desktop
But when click on it
It shows Internet Explorer Script error & has two option YES or NO
Nothing happen to choose YES or NO

[seahwk83]

You can disable active desktop if you would like to, this would prevent from coming up, try this to see if this would go away and if you are not happy with results, all you have to do is run this file again and it will enable the desktop recovery again - just a small tool that enable/disbales the service with a click

Go to this page and go to line 16 and click on it and then save it to your PC and then run the program and that's it, takes 2 sec

Again, you can reverse what this does just by running the program again

Thanks a lot
But its not working
I installed this VB script on my PC , but problem is remain same
I also restart my PC after script installation

See if any of this helps

Put your cursor on a blank spot on the Active Desktop Recovery Error page, do a right click, and select Properties. Select the Desktop tab, then select whatever image you want as your desktop image. And see if message comes back

I think I may know, but not sure

Similar to above quote - I'm pretty sure this should do it, hopefully
Restore Active Desktop Not Working ? | Anything, but not Everything

Just go to your display settings and change your desktop backround and click apply * hopefllly as easy as this

Here is a basic script to change the above registry setting

HKEY_CURRENT_USER = &H80000001
strComputer = "."
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
