active desktop

[Guest]

I followed the standard procedure to put put an active web page on my
desktop. i.e Display properties ----> Desktop ------> Customise Destop------>
Web ------> Browse -----> select web page ----->Open ----->OK-----> Ok
------> Apply ----->Ok.
This results in the web page being displayed but of fixed size (about 5cm by
5cm ) . The usual window buttons maximise ,minimise and exit are missing.
Thus I am stuck with a small rather inadequate web page.
I have run microsoft anti- spyware , avg antivirus ,cw shredder etc but to
no avail.
Any suggestions please ?

Go back to Display properties ----> Desktop ------> Customise Desktop------>
Web, untick "lock desktop Items" Ok and apply etc. then put the cursor
towards the top of the 5cm x 5cm web page, you should see the minimise and
maximise buttons click maximise then go back and lock desktop items.

Good Luck
Martin

Thank you Martin for you prompt reply.
Unfortunately I get the same result whether "lock desktop items" is ticked
or not.
