Can't figure out where it's at so I can change it!
You have to disable the active desktop, but it has to be done via the registry. That's the spyware porngraph uses. Annoying as shit, I know.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer

Add a DWORD value called NoActiveDesktop and set the data to 1.

Restart, you're set.
