Hey jennyanderson99

as you ask specifically about active desktop, here's what it is, or in your case what she was before vista released

Active Desktop is a feature of Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 Windows Desktop Update that allows the user to add optional contentHTML on the Office, as well as a few other features. This feature was designed to be installed on theWindows 95 operating system then in force. It was also included inWindows 98 and later Windows operating systems up toWindows Vista, where the feature wasdiscontinued. This corresponds to the version ofInternet Explorer 4.0 to 6.x, but not Internet Explorer 7.

HTML users can add in place of the ordinary wallpaper as independent resizable desktop items. Items available online can be regularly updated and synchronized so that users can stay up-to-date without visiting the site in their browser.

Active Desktop works as the technology of desktop widget that allows users to add customized their desktop information.

Here is information for active desktop for xp

information from wikipedia about active desktop are less than

http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_Desktop

The introduction of the Active Desktop brand attempt by Microsoft to take advantage of the ephemeral trendtechnology push led by PointCast. Active Desktop has imposed a number of "channels" ofdesktop computers that provided information updated continuously, such as headlines and stock quotes, without the user to open aWeb browser of the user.

Active Desktop debuted during the publication of 1997 of Internet Explorer 4.0 for Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0, install it as a feature of theWindows Desktop Update offered to users during the upgrade option. The Windows desktop update is commonly referred to as (bad) Active Desktop itself, but it is actually a whole Windows shell to level v4.0 to v4.71, or v4.72, with many changes in the Windows interface, resulting in a level look and features almost indistinguishable from the Windows 98, then again to-be-released. Features include the ability to allow uppercase filenames (the old v4.0 Desktop would forcibly filenames in title case uppercase), the dynamic tracking file selection click configurable, customizable by HTML, QuickLaunch folder display settings mini buttons on the taskbar next to the Start button, improved to Start Menu drag and drop re-organization of the elements and menus contextual click right to rename point etc. With the update, Windows Explorer now has an address bar in Internet addresses that can be entered and driven seamlessly.

Active Desktop was widely regarded as a failure, with one of the main problems being its use high system and reduction of the stability of the system resources. Although not used[citation needed], the availability of Active Desktop was decisive for the legal argument Microsoft in antitrust case of United States v. Microsoft , that Internet Explorer has a feature of Windows, not a separate product.

Later use

Windows Vista has replaced the Active Desktop withWindows Sidebar (now called Gadgets Windows Desktop fromWindows 7), which also allows the components to add to the desktop. Windows XP is the newest operating system from Microsoft to support Active Desktop. It seems that the 64 bit version of Windows XP supports is no longer Active Desktop. It provides always the option to display Web pages and channels built with MicrosoftChannel Definition Format (CDF) on the desktop.

Display HTML features are now mainly used for creating wallpapers originals and adding the fields of desktop search. For example, a user can copy the following code to display the search box of Wikipedia on the desktop:

  • I have 2 problems-how can I activate my Add ons and how to uninstall Windows Anti Virus. I need help, please.

    I have Windows XP 32-bit with IE8 Add ons.  I mainly use Firefox Mozilla for my browser and Yahoo as my home page.  Anyway, I have tried all the support and help guide and technicians told me to do to get add ons to open and activate but in vain.  This computer was given to me as a profession, and it was used in a Bank, so I think that the system administrator has disabled the add ons.  I myself as an administrator and use the tips and tricks given windows and Microsoft, but I always run up a wall.  I need help, please.
    I also need to know how to uninstall Windows antivirus software.  I can't find anywhere on my computer.  I feel really stupid and he is probably right in front of my face, but I can't find it to uninstall.  I have McAfee that I paid dearly for if I want to use it until it expires.

    This "Microsoft antivirus' witness (AKA Trojan W32/FakeAlert) hijackware infection!

    If you manage to somehow move to Win7, you will always have an infected computer.

    The ONLY way to solve the problem is by formatting the current hard drive and do a clean installation of Windows, whether it is WinXP or Win7.

    The ONLY way you can do a clean install of Windows XP if you have disks that came with the computer or if by chance, there is a hidden partition restore (not to be confused with the system restore).

    If your kids er - well & their spouses are going to spend money on a new HARD drive, they'be be better spend on a low-end Windows 7 computer and brand-new (for example, a netbook or a mini).

    NB: Any data on your Windows XP computer must be considered 100% reliable! (This includes all of your usernames and passwords, for example, those used for online banking, etc.) You do NOT want to put ALL the data from Windows XP to a new computer or HARD disk.

    Good luck, Grandma. Hope that your grandchildren will treat you better than their parents.

  • How do you install an icon show desktop in my taskbar (similar to that available on my XP machine)?

    Or y at - it a faster way to get back on the desktop when many windows are open on the screen?

    Allurfine/Chimel:

    The 'show desktop' icon is redundant, good stuff... OK, so, we'll put it all together:

    (1) How to create icon "Show Desktop" - and place it on start bar (or indeed in any folder you want that you have write access to the disk):

    Click Start and run, type notepad in the Open box, and then click OK.
    Copy carefully and then paste the following text in the Notepad window:
    [Shell]

    Order = 2

    IconFile = explore .exe, 3

    [Taskbar]

    Command = ToggleDesktop

    On the file menu, click Save as, and then save the file to your desktop as "Show desktop.scf". The show, the desktop icon is created on your desktop.

    Once you have created the icon, you can also drag on the start bar and access it from the start menu if you wish.

    2) show the desktop on the taskbar icon:

    On the right bar or a task far beyond date and time zone.

    (3) computer access from desktop with Windows-D.

    * There you go. Here are 3 ways you can use show desktop. All are redundant. That said, Windows is full of redundancies if you want to get technical - I'm guessing another synonym for this is "user friendly". Use any method you want. I think the point is to have as many options as possible and use Windows in any way works best for you.

    Good luck

  • How to re - install a new firefox 7 (or even return to 6) and keep my settings &amp; Add ons?

    Sigh, wish that I had never updated. FF7 was complicated due to the constant crashes and unexpected downturns on many websites (I have a decent computer, intel i5, 8 GB of ram, but I have also 1-2 dozen tabs open most of the time).

    I think maybe a new start on firefox (I've been on this 'profile' for several years now) can help. But I don't want to lose all the Add-ons that I put it in (including some of those that I disabled, but would like to keep in any case, because they can be useful in the future).

    I can get my bookmarks and firefox via Firefox sync settings, I guess. I have my passwords stored locally using roboform, and I don't care about my story, etc..

    So, how to re - install a new copy of firefox 7 (or maybe even back to 6) and get my modules back (a better way than to make a list and installing each one individually) and possibly keep some of the settings of these modules (I know that some of them won't let me export their settings)? Thank you.

    Firefox 8 comes out November 8, look for this 9 unless you like try all day to see if help > show about an update. In fact if your haste try mozilla.com 8.
