Active Desktop is built into WinXP. You CANNOT turn it off. Try loading a bitmap as your wallpaper. That *might* do it.

seriously:
"For Windows XP Professional, right-click on an empty area of your Windows Desktop and then select “Properties”.  Then select the tab “Desktop” and then the item “Customize Desktop”.  Then click the tab named “Web”.  Ensure that no items in the listing of “Web Pages:” are checked."
