REACTIVATE THE ACTIVE DESKTOP

When you got your Windows 98 computer (or installed Internet Explorer version 4 on your Windows 95 computer), you may have been intrigued by the "Active Desktop" option, which integrated the web browser with the operating system. But then, like many users, you may have turned the Active Desktop off. How do you turn it back on? You need to click on the Start button, then navigate to the Settings item on the Start Menu, then navigate to the Active Desktop item, and then click on Customize My Desktop. Finally, you put a check mark in the box for "View my Active Desktop as a Web page" and click on the OK button.
