Disable Active Desktop

[Zadkiel]

I've seen the oldish post by kimn and the reply by reghakr who said "If you mean the key for adding restrictions to active desktop, it's:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\ActiveDesktop
The key may not even exist. You may have to create the Policies and/or ActiveDesktop key. "

I need to be able to disable the active desktop through the registry. Is it simply a case of creating the correct keys and values and setting them accordingly. As it stand the ActiveDesktop subkey does not exist in the registry, if I create it will it be used by windows.

Also what value do I enter into the subkey when I create it and what do I set the value to.

Thanks

Zadkiel,

Navigate to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer
Add a DWORD value named ClassicShell and give it a value of 1.
