Default Active Desktop - How to re-install it ?

If Graphic Properties the bottom item (called just Properties on a english language version). Also Active Desktop is no longer a menu item. Some of the entries on here got moved to Arrange Icons By - some are buried deep in Desktop's Properties.

Thank you, for your remark!

But noone has them in XP. What are these entries supposed to do. You can speak frog as I have translation tables for XP. I haven't read this link but the page starts with the same paragraph as what I use.

I use your translation tables for XP and this is the result:

My computer run Windows XP home edition as operating system and further to a
wrong manipulation, the functionalities of Active Desktop are not available
any more. More precisely:

- when I make a right click on my desktop, in the contextual menu (drop-down
menu) ,which appear, I have no more the following options for the "Graphic
Properties ", ?Graphic Options? and "Active Desktop". In "Active Desktop"
menu item there are the options: "Customize the desktop", "New desktop item",
"Show as a web page", "Show the desktop?s icons?, "Lock the desktop?s items",
"Synchronize" and "My home page".

- when I go in the "Display" (Control panel) I don't have anymore the tab
"Web" and therefore I can?t check any more the option "to Show my Active
Desktop office as a Web page ";

- when I go in "Folder Options" (Control panel) I don't have anymore the
group of radio button about Active Desktop.

Somebody could explain me how to re-activate or re-install these options on
my computer, which seems that all have something to do with Active Desktop,
but perhaps I'm wrong.

I didn't find all terms into your translation tables, but I hope it's a
little bit more clear to understand and that you can help me.

Thank you! Tyo
