james,
none of the steps work. active desktop was never installed when i installed the os. do i have to install an earlier version of ie first? because the other computers that we have had earlier versions of ie that were just updated and they have active desktop.
thanks

Sounds like the Active Desktop functionality is not installed. You need to install the IE SP4.01
I find a link for you then post it. I am pretty sure you need IE SP4.01 James Collins
