SYMPTOMS

ActiveX EXEs that are set to run as the launching user may use the wrong desktop. This can occur if the creating process is impersonating a user other than the user account under which it is running when it launches the ActiveX EXE. Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) is a good example of such a process. This affects ActiveX applications that require access to the desktop of the impersonated user.
