I too have tried all of the tips here to no avail. Even TweakXP would not work. Strangely when I go to display properties ,ect. no web option pops up at all. I cannot unlock the desktop as no (Unlock Desktop) option is available. This is the second machine that I have found to behave this way. I cleared all displays from the desktop and chose a blank screen, nothing worked. Finally, I found one of the registry hacks on a different site than this did work on a different machine. Then , I forgot to save the registry tweek and now I don't know which it was and I need to use it on another computer that fails to behave properly. I did not realize how ubiquitus this bug is. Now I'm up to three XP machines that have this problem. I intend to try deleting the suggested ini file and then if that doesn't work I'll make a pilgramage to the famous city of Redmond where the richest software /bug maker resides. Perhaps he can fix this insectoidal software he calls XP.
