Active Desktop items permanently locked

[TresLunas]

I'm trying to use Active Desktop in WinXP Pro, and when I add a webpage to the desktop (Google), the page gets added as a (about) 100×100 pixel window. I can't resize the window and I can't move it. I haven't used Active Desktop before but it seems like the "Lock to desktop" option is permanently stuck on. Is this a common bug, something unusual that has only happened to me, or is this just the way it's supposed to be?

Try this.

Go to display properties either through the control panel or right click on desktop then select properties.

go to the desktop tab then select customize desktop button on the bottom of that window.

In that window go to the web tab theres 2 check boxes. The bottom one is to lock desktop items. Its probably checked. uncheck it and give it a try!

What is the other check box? Do you mean the one for selecting webpages?

The "Lock to desktop" box is unchecked. I've tried checking/applying/unchecking/applying but that's made no difference.
