15. Remove Common Tasks from the Desktop
Or....
XP_CommonTasks.exe - Remove Common Tasks from Desktop
© Doug Knox - 5/04/2003
This application will correct the Registry setting that causes the Common
Tasks pane to appear on the Windows XP Desktop.

Also in Display Propeties - when I right clik on desktop - Active
Desktop function does not exist...
When you right-click a blank area on the desktop on a computer that runs
Windows XP, the shortcut menu does not display the Active Desktop
command. In Windows XP, Active Desktop is always turned on and you
normally cannot disable it. Active Desktop can be disabled, but you
have to use TweakUI or Group Policy (only with XP Pro) or change some
settings in the registry.
If you have the Web tab in Display Properties then Active Desktop is
enabled.
If Show Desktop icons, Lock web items on Desktop and Run Desktop Cleanup
Wizard appear when you right click the Desktop and point to Arrange
Icons By then Active Desktop is enabled.
To add Web content to your desktop
1. Right-click a blank area on the desktop, and then click Properties.
2. On the Desktop tab, click Customize Desktop.
3. On the Web tab, click New, and then follow the instructions on your
screen.
4. To update the content, click the Synchronize button.
5. If you wish to disable Active Desktop, make sure all checkboxes in
this window are un-checked.
New button
[[Click to add a Web page or Web item (such as a stock ticker) to the Web
pages list. Follow the instructions on your screen.]]
