Active desktop recovery/Script error
Thread Solved |
Great, it was a difficult one but I found the answer on Ask.com. Better than Google sometimes, worth remembering.

hey, Oded, i'm glad you got the context menu problem sorted also [I'm just going through catching up on things..]. The Identify button? - you would not see that unless you had a video card capable of handling multiple displays, so nothing missed there [all Identify does is show you which screen driver/channel number you're watching..]. And i guess Acronis just were not IE7 ready.
Hi Gerbil. Thanks again for all the help and the follow-up. The people on this board are a great resource for help. I wrote Acronis about the problem and they recommended removing and reinstalling the program, which I did following the fix. Up until now - no further problems. I assume that something may have gone awry during the original installation. However, only time will, tell.

Since this file is automatically generated by windows, the best fix is to delete the old one[s] and let windows create a new one. To do this open an explorer window and go to tools > folder options > view, and uncheck hide protected opsys files. Apply and ok. Then do a search in your sys drive [usually c: ] for desktop.htt. It will be in Docs and Settings\User\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer.
Delete them [it, whatever...]. Close the explorer window, rclick your desktop and click Refresh, and then go back and RECHECK that box. you really don't want those special files exposed all the time!!
Gerbil, I am trying to take ur advice on this same matter, but after deleting and refreshing it still didn't solve the matter. My Q. is , when you say "delete them, it " I have 4 or 5 files, but only the one under the exact location you say above did I delete. should I delete all the others also?
Thanks

There should only be one desktop.htt in each user's Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer folder. Delete it, because it will be regenerated. And restart; log off/on should work also... other users may have to do the same with their file.
Deep, deep in the woods, but walking about.

Sorry that I have so many questions, I only have one account, but two (admin)-desktop .htt folders, and one (computer) -desktop.htt folder and a (system 32)- desktop folder.
I really need this spelled out like a baby cause I'm not real sure how this works.
which ones are going?
thanks again.
