Check the version of IE on the computer - IE 4 doesn't offer active desktop - IE5 or better does.

Uh-uh--hold the phone!

Active Desktop started with IE4.

However, it's possible that IE4 (or up) was installed, but AD was not!

THe way it works is -first install internet explorer 4.0 and update it thr microsoft ,by installing `IE SP2 & Desktop feature ,then go to setting and folder option and make change -later on upgrade it to IE5.0 or IE5.5.if u install IE5 in beginning it`ll not work.
