What happened to Active Desktop? Is it still present in Windows XP?

A. Yes, Active Desktop is still there, but Microsoft has hidden it so users dont need to manually turn it on and off. If you add any Web content–or a GIF or JPEG image–to your desktop, Windows XP will automatically enable Active Desktop. If you turn off these features, Windows XP will turn off Active Desktop as well, behind the scenes.
