Please someone help me !!! I accidentally got my active desktop turned on, by a program called Screen Calendar, and now I can't turn it off. I uninstalled the program, but that didn't work. I hate active desktop and for the life of me can't remember how to turn it off.
I am in HELL, please someone help !!!!!!!!!!
Thanks,

It ought to be in your display properties somewhere.. I'm on a win98 system right now so I don' t know where it might be in WinXP (which is what I'm assuming you're using). If, by the time I get home, you have no replies, I'll take a gander.
In any case, in win98, it's in the "web" tab of the dislpay properties.
Hope that helps.
To clarify, I don't have a web page displayed I still have my desktop wallpaper, but my desktop icons won't display, I have checked all that I know to check to make show on the desktop, but still nothing. The only reason I think it has something to do with the active desktop, because the program that I was trying in my previous statement said that Active Desktop has to be enabled and it did automativally, that's when I lost my desktop icons.
Again, thanks for any help,

I remember seeing the option to remove desktop icons in web view in WinXP... uh... okay, I recall it IS in your display properties.. just click all the 'advanced' or 'effects' buttons you see on any of the tabs in the display properties dialog and check to see if the setting's in there. Like I said, I'm goin from memory here, my winXP installation is at home and I'm at work on an old laptop with Win98.
Okay, I found a couple articles that might help you out if your problem is still not solved..
I didn't have net access last night (important phone call expected that didn't come in) so I couldn't post.. and I forget where I found it again.
