now i got this problem in the picture. when i copied a link from the internet, and past it on the desktop, a massege said : are you sure you want to copy active object, as i remember, maybe not exactly that but i rapidly clicked ok...so that what happened!, it's the same as the web page at the corner of the desktop, and i can use it and the links in it are working!
i changed the theme but it still. anybody can help me please

Umm, so what exactly is your problem? It seems to be working as it should be.

If you want to get rid of it, right click it, and there should be a delete option somewhere, otherwise, open up the display properties, click the desktop tab, click "Customize Desktop", click the web tab, find the webpage in the list, and un-check the checkbox next to it.

If you right click and hit properties, go to the desktop tab, then click customize desktop, click on the web tab, you will be presented with a selectable list of objects on your desktop, obviously, de-select the one that you don't want (and delete it also if you want). If, going by the picture you have given us, I would say there is only one active object on the desktop, so delete that one! There is one called 'Current Homepage', you can't delete that one, but it should be already un-selected - leave that one!

And that should hopefully get rid of your desktop problem.

ok thanks all. i deleted this active object, kept the current homepage unselected and it worked... but what is this the "active object" what does it mean, also active x object? can somebody explain to me?. oh now i observed that the date i joined this forum 26 june is the same as of my birth day! whatever, this is a nice and helpfull forum.
thanks very much.

Active Desktop Objects are one of the many things in windows that has no real use.

Basically, it shows a file on the desktop. This file can be a webpage, picture, animation, or anything really. The one thing wrong with it is it can slow down your computer, so it's best not to have too many active objects on the desktop.
