I downloaded IE4 sp2 WITHOUT ACTIVE DESKTOP from microsoft ie download page,then I downloaded it, but I don't see any changes like the favourites in the start menu,the web tab in the display properties, the folder options and active desktop feature in start/settings, simply don't see anything, I know it's installed because if I try to download ie4 again, it says I already have it,maybe you can tell me which files make up the active desktop or a way to turn it on.

Thanks in advance.

Turning full Web Integration on is easy:

Open any folder and choose Folder Options from the View Menu.
In the General Tab of the Folder Options dialog box, select Web Style and click OK.
The first time you do this Windows will check whether you want to use single-click or double-click. Choose single-click to get the full flavour of Web Integration.
(Note: You must make sure you download or install the Windows Desktop Update when you first setup IE 4. Otherwise the Active Desktop features won’t be available to you. You can always re-run the Setup program to add the Desktop Update features if you already have the program installed.)

You can also turn the Active Desktop on and off by right-clicking any blank space on your Desktop, selecting Active Desktop from the pop-up menu, and then select View As Web Page from the cascading menu. Using this technique only affects the display of Web-style information on your Desktop, it doesn’t affect your folder views.
