active desktop

Maybe not the place for this question but I need more speed for racing games and would like to turn this off! Have Windows ME In help it says to right click on a blank space on the desktop and click active desktop from the list. ACTIVE DESKTOP IS NOT ON THE LIST. In another place it says restrictions are in effect on this computer contact your system administrator. This is on my home PC!! I am the only user and set no restrictions that I know of. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks MILO

Right click on you desk top, then select PROPERTIES, when the properties box pops up select the WEB tab from choices along the top, once there, UNCHECK the box that says something like "View My Active Desktop As Web Page". That should do the trick. best of luck, edb Milo Johnson <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:qF6p6.515029$[email hidden]... > Maybe not the place for this question but I need more speed for racinggames > and would like to turn this off! > Have Windows ME > In help it says to right click on a blank space on the desktop and click > active desktop from the list.

I think I see the problem in line 3 "Have Windows ME". ;-) It might be the @home software. I know that it installs its own special version of IE - maybe it locked itself down??? Check the @home web site's support - it won't let me into the users help section since I'm not a subscriber. Hope that helps. Eric

go under the display settings to a tab called WEB and take the check out of active desktop RD "Milo Johnson" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:qF6p6.515029$[email hidden]... > Maybe not the place for this question but I need more speed for racinggames > and would like to turn this off! > Have Windows ME > In help it says to right click on a blank space on the desktop and click > active desktop from the list.

MILO, The restrictions you speek of, is this coming from opening Control Panel? You've used TweakUI and disabled Control Panel. To fix this do the following: Open regedit and navagate this branch. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explore r On the right pane, you should find a "NoControlPanel" . You can either delete the icon, or double click it and set the Value data so it reads: 0000 00 00 00 00. Close RegEdit and restart your computer. -- All the best, SG "Milo Johnson" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:qF6p6.515029$[email hidden]... > Maybe not the place for this question but I need more speed for racing games > and would like to turn this off! > Have Windows ME > In help it says to right click on a blank space on the desktop and click > active desktop from the list.
