The "Web" area must only be there if Active Desktop is on?
For a long time I have not had any Active Desktop on/off
options. If anyone needs it, this is a .vbs file to
disable/enable Active Desktop in one click:
Option Explicit
On Error Resume Next
Dim WSHShell, n, p, itemtype, MyBox, vbdefaultbutton
Set WSHShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
[One line]p =
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\NoActiveDesktop"
[Line immediately below it]itemtype = "REG_DWORD"
n = WSHShell.RegRead (p)
errnum = Err.Number
if errnum <> 0 then
[Tab space]WSHShell.RegWrite p, 1, itemtype
End If
If n = 0 Then
[Indent a few spaces]WshShell.RegWrite p, 1, itemtype
[Indent a few spaces, one line]MyBox = MsgBox("Active Desktop
is now DISABLED", 64, "Disable Active Desktop")
[Line immediately below it]End If
If n = 1 Then
[Indent a few spaces]WshShell.Regwrite p, 0, itemtype
[Indent a few spaces, one line]MyBox = MsgBox("Active Desktop
is now ENABLED", 64, "Enable Active Desktop")
[Line immediately below it]End If
Set WshShell = Nothing
REMOVE the areas I put in brackets, they are there for notes to
be followed.
[One line]
[Line immediately below it]
[Tab space]
etc.
Paste all of that in Notepad (then remove the bracket areas),
and give it a .vbs extension. Each time you click it AD will
be enabled or disabled.

I've tracked down a few of these things, and one common trick
is to use
the Active Desktop feature to load them.
Rt-Click the Desktop/Properties/Desktop/Customize/Web
Uncheck any Web items.
