IE7 Active Desktop

Hey all,

we have a domain here with 15 clients. The policy Active Desktop Wallpaper is enabled, so the users have a default wallpaper that they can't change.

But since we've installed the final release of Internet Explorer 7 it seems like that the Active Desktop just doesn't load and there appears a blue background with an image icon like in IE when it's still loading the image...

Click

I'm sure the path is right and nothing has been changed on the policies for a while before IE7 was installed.

Does somebody how I can fix this

Thanks, Snake86

Did anyone here find a work around for this

I also have this problem with roaming profiles and ie7

I try this, but don't work.

My cenario is same.

Hi people,

i solved the problem with this solution:

Its necessary create Internet Explorer Folder inside of \documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\

and inside of this folder copy the file desktop.htt.

If you have this problem with roaming profiles and redirected folders, then I think I have solved it.

Put the server where your "application data' folder is redirected, into the "trusted sites" zone.

For example,

if you redirect the "application data" folder to \\servername\share\username\application data,

then add file://servername into the "trusted sites" zone. (This can be done via Group Policies)

You will need to do this for each server if you have mulitple servers where you are redirecting the application data folder to.

This caused another error for us as we also run exe's off servername, and as the server had moved from the local "intranet zone", to the "trusted sites" zone, we were now getting prompted to run the exe's. Adjusting the zone to "Medium-Low" corrected this for us. (This can also be done via Group Policies)

I hope this helps some of you.
