How to get rid of this annoying Screen!

What is Active Desktop Recovery?

        The Active Desktop Recovery message appears on your monitor screen when the Windows boot up has been interrupted. Reasons why this might occur include a power outage, a faulty program, and/ or a virus or multiple forms of spyware. In some cases, having too many anti-spyware/anti-virus applications installed on the computer can even result in this message appearing each time you boot up. Typically all you need to do is to select the button that says "Restore my Active Desktop." Let's take a look at how to get past this message.

Active Desktop Recovery: Regedit

Make sure that you back up your registry first in case something does not go well with this strategy. You'll be changing the value of a key and you can always change it back if it does not work.

  • Click "Start" and then "Run."
  • Type in "regedit" and press "Enter."
  • Search for the following:
  • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ Internet Explorer\Desktop\SafeMode\Components
  • Click the value written as "DeskHtmlVersion."
  • Select or click on the "decimal" button.
  • Change the value to read "0" instead of "272."
  • Wait until the screen changes or reboot if nothing happens.
