I've edited my first post. Take a peek.

So does anyone know if there are more resources used by Active Desktop for sure? Or is this an old wives tale? My icons don't even flinch when I close down a screen using the way above. I used to get a flicker using the .bmp.

What security risks are there in using Active Desktop? (Since I.E.4 that is.)
As long as you have your security setup to at least prompt you of "Installation of desktop items", you shouldn't have any problems with or without.

I figure it is web content enabled and not web connected. Certainly not a browser in any way.

I just searched briefly for security problems of Active Desktop. I could only find info dealing with fixes on I.E. 4 and sp1.
Keyword criteria: active desktop security.

Cheers!

Any numbers out there for interest sake?

Cheers!
