Internet Explorer - Active Directory error
I get the following error on a Win xp pc w/sp2. IE 6 sp2.
"Internet Explorer cannot find the Active Desktop HTML file. This file is needed for your Active Desktop. Click OK to turn off Active Desktop."
"Internet Explorer cannot find the Active Desktop HTML file. This file is needed for your Active Desktop. Click OK to turn off Active Desktop."
Hi felixjpn,
I've had this happen before, and I ended up uninstalling IE6, and then reinstalling it. If you do a search for this on MS KB, you get the following response as a cause
"This behavior occurs when the Windows\Web folder has been moved or renamed, or the Windows\Application data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer folder is missing or damaged. "
They give a list of things to do, but I'd make sure you save any favorites and note any settings (proxy ... if you use it) and simply uninstall and reinstall IE.
Did this happen after you put sp2 on your pc?
Cheers!

No SP2 has been on for a while. I am on a work network with roaming profiles.

Did you recently updated IE? If you still have setup files that were downloaded, run the setup again. If you get repair option, use that otherwise use full install.
