I re-booted my XP Home based computer after shutting it down normallty and received the whire screen with the message: "Active Desktop Recovery". I clicked on the "Restore my Active Desktop" and received the following error message, titled:

Internet Explorer Script Error
Line: 65
Char: 1
Error: Object doesn't support this action
Code: 0
URL: file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Setting...et/Desktop.htt

Do you want to continue runnibg scripts on this page?
Yes/No

No matter whether I press Yes or No, nothing happens!
I removed a couple of programs I recently installed and re-booted,, with the same result.
I then went into System Restore and restored it to a status a couple of days ago. Still, the same result!
I ran antivirus programs, Windows Defender. Nothing was detected.
I need HELP, please.
Thanks
