Active Desktop Recovery not working

**Omar** · 22-03-2009

I was facing a system failure experience on Windows XP and after that the Active Desktop Recovery will not work at all. I am not able to reset the wallpaper or neither can I change to any other wallpaper? Can anyone tell me how to solve this issue? Thanks.

Check the article on "How to Enable or Disable the Active Desktop" from this link - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/190228

Normally, the Active Desktop is available on 32 bit version of Windows XP SP2 but with reduced functionality. It was removed from Windows Vista.

I have already tried that and I have done enough search on it but nothing is working for me, hence I have posted this querie. Thanks for anyone helping me out.

You can try to use the Remove it software, it comes with 2 desktop reset tools built-in. Just select yes for all options when prompted. Download it from searching on google.
