Active Desktop is a feature of Microsoft Internet Explorer's that allows the user to add HTML content to the desktop, along with some other features. It is also included in Windows 98 and higher operating systems.

Users can add HTML both in place of the regular wallpaper and as independent resizable desktop items. Items available on-line can be regularly updated and synchronized so users can stay updated without visiting the website in their browser.

Active Desktop works much like desktop widget technology in that it allows users to place customized information on their desktop. Turning Active Desktop off saves a bit of memory and improves the performance of low-memory PCs. There is a checkbox in Window's Display Properties dialog box to do this. Here is how:

1. Open the Control Panel.

Disable Windows Active Desktop

2. Open Display Properties.

Disable Windows Active Desktop

3. Click the Desktop tab.

Disable Windows Active Desktop

4. Click the Customize Desktop button.

Disable Windows Active Desktop

5. Click the Web tab in the Desktop Items window.

Disable Windows Active Desktop

6. To enable the Active Desktop, check "My Current Home Page". Add your current home page into your desktop or click New to add another web page and/or other Active Desktop features.

7. To update the content, click the Synchronize button.
