Help! and thanks in advance

I was screwing around with security stuff on my xp pro box and all of a
sudden lost the ability to resize my active desktop items. When I hover
my mouse over an active desktop item to show it's resizing frame nothing
happens... as if the desktop items are locked (which they are not)

Trevor
Thanks

Go to Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore
and select a Restore Point created prior to your problem becoming known.

When exploring the security settings available it is always
a good plan to change a little, then take a break from making
changes and use the system to experience the effect.
When you make tons at once it gets rather difficult to figure
which one needs to change back if things are not what one
wants.
Your best approach, in my opinion, is to go into the security
settings area for the Active Desktop and consider which one
you maybe should not have changed.
