Disable Active Desktop

[Guest]

I need to disable the Active Desktop thru the registry. is there a key or
value that can be modified to allow this to turn the damn Active desktop off?

Can't do it thru normal GUI, as the computer is locked down.
Need to get the current items on the active desktop off, so can change the
damn picture..lol

Any help would be much appreciaited.

Before editing the registry, make sure you have a full backup.
User Key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\
Explorer]
System Key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\
Explorer]
Value Name: NoActiveDesktop
Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)
Value Data: (0 = disable restriction, 1 = enable restriction)
You may have to create the DWORD Value named "NoActiveDesktop" Whether you
want to disable it for everyone or just the current user will determine
whether you want to add the value to the system or current user. HTH
