Active Desktop Recovery - Restore does not work; HELP
We had a thunderstorm during the night and the white screen appeared. When I click on the "Restore" button, a Internet Explorer Script Error screen pops up and says an error has occurred and asks if I want to continue running scripts on this page. I have clicked on "Yes" and "No". The result is the same...nothing. I cannot get the desktop restored. I did a system restore to yesterday but that did not help, either. Can anyone help?
Thanks.
- Thank you for your reply. I am going to try your suggestion as follows, but I don't quite understand number '2':
1. Start explorer
2. Move to %systemroot%\Profiles\ \Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer
3. Select Desktop.htt and delete (it is a hidden file so you will need to change the view first View - Folder Options - View)
4. Close Explorer
5. Right click on the desktop and choose Refresh
OK, in plain English :smileyvery-happy:
1 Open Start > Control Panel > Folder Options
2 From View tab make sure Show hidden files & folders is selected, click OK
3 Open Windows Explorer (Right click Start, select Explore)
4 Click on the Internet Explorer folder (located by opening the following path)
C:\Documents & Settings\ \Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer
5 Select the file Desktop.htt & delete it
6 Close Windows Explorer
7 Right click on the desktop area & choose Refresh
