after a crash of Win Me, my active desktop is disabled. I must click on 'Restore' to re-activate it. Is there a way to make Windows do it automatically? Due to the number of crashes I have per day, I would like not to bother restoring it manually.

I have had no crashes since I installed Norton System Works & started using norton windoctor - it fixes invalid shortcuts, registry errors etc (stuff I would never find ) The 1st time I used it, it found 168 errors & fixed them in about 10 seconds.80 canadian bucks & worth every penny.
