WinXP doesn't have the same menu item. The way you turn off active desktop in XP is to go to Run/gpedit.msc and go to Administrative Templates/Desktop (Or something like that...I'm not running XP right now)...and turn Enable Active Desktop to "Disabled". I think this only works on the professional version of XP...I don't think home version has gpedit.
