Active Desktop HTML Background

Background is all white when setting and HTML page through a group policy.

* Seen on 5 Laptops over the past few months
* Windows XP SP1a with all current hotfixes
* IE 6 SP1 with all current hotfiixes
* AD 2000
* Group Policy (User Config, Admin Templates, Desktop/Active Desktop)
Forces:
Wallpaper - \\xxxx\xxxx\xxxx\desktop.htm
Active Desktop is enabled
Prohibit Changes is enabled

Up to this point the only fix I have found is rebuilding. If you visit the
page set in the policy via a standard url
(http://xxxx/xxxx/xxxx/desktop.htm) it displays correctly. If you visit it
using the format required by the group policy it shows up all white and a
view source reveals that it is not displaying the intended file.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Joseph

I am having the same problem on a network of 500+ machines and it seems to be
happening randomly on machines. Have tested several different solutions and
non seem to fix the problem. Some different tricks fixed the problem for a
couple of days and one of them was overriding cookies in the local intranet
settings.

Still trying to find a solution.
