Having a problem with Active Desktop Recovery?


Notice:
Sometime you will find this error on your start-up (WinXP Pro) of machine. If clicked "Restore My Active Desktop" you get the following.
Error:
"An error has occurred in a script on this page:

Line 65
Char 1
Error: Object doesn’t support this action

Code: 0

URL:file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/My%20Name/Application%20Data/Microsoft/Internet%20Explorer/Desktop.htt"

Do you want to continue running script on this page?

Yes or ON "


Note:  If Click Yes / No, It come backs to the Same Desktop of “Active Desktop Recovery”

More Information:
If you are trying to Delete the “Desktop.htt” file from the mention location note that  you won’t be able to find it, as no such file is created in the that particular location.

Resolution:
  • Go to Start Menu > Run > Regedit.
  • Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Desktop\Safe Mode\Components.
  • Here change the value of "DeskHtmlVersion" Reg_DWord from 0x00000110(272) to 0 (Decimal zero).
  • Now close Regedit, Restart/Logoff your PC.
When Logged Back in you wont find this issue again.

Hope this Helped...
