Active Desktop Error message On Startup

[Cliff]

I have WindowsXP Pro with SP2 and IE6, lately I have been getting a message
on startup that tells me the Active Desktop has been shut down due to an
error, I have not activated Active Desktop, I go into desktop properties and
put my normal wallpaper on and everything is ok but it is annoying that on
every startup I get this message, I presume it is something to do with IE, I
frequently scan for viruses and malware using AdAware and Spybot with
McAffee Viruscan and Zone Alarm so I doubt it is that, any ideas?

Cheers
Cliff
