To turn off the Active Desktop feature
Open Folder Options in Control Panel.
On the General tab, under Active Desktop, click Use Windows classic desktop.
Notes
To open a Control Panel item, click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel,
and then double-click the appropriate icon. Or, in Windows Explorer, click Tools,
and then click Folder Options.
There are a few other ways to turn off the Active Desktop feature:
Right-click a blank area on the desktop, point to Active Desktop, and then click
Show Web Content to remove the check mark. A check mark next to the text indicates
that the Active Desktop is enabled.
Double-click Display in Control Panel, click the Web tab, and then clear the Show
Web content on my Active Desktop check box.
