Hello, I'll give you the steps to achieving this:

1.Open the Control Panel.

2.Open Display Properties

3.Click the Desktop tab

4.Click the Web tab in the Desktop Items window

If you wish to enable the Active Desktop check "My Current Home Page" to add your current home page into your desktop or click New to add another web page and/or other Active Desktop features To update the content click the Synchronize button.

If you wish to disable Active Desktop make sure all checkboxes in this window are un-checked.

Hope this helps.
