Can not delete desktop item

I want to get rid of a specific dektop item (some rain-radar image)
which - when accessed - for some strange reason always seems to crash
(mobsync is always using ~50% CPU when trying to refresh that page and
apparently hangs with that forever). However, whenever I try to delete
the item from my desktop using (Desktop background right click) =>
Properties => Desktop Tab => Customize Desktop => Web => selecting the
item and click the Delete-button) the Display Properties windows hangs
and does not respond any longer. All I can do is to kill this via
TaskManager, but next time I open the desktop items again, this item is
still in the list.

How can I get rid of this Hydra???

Or - if nothing else helps: how can I deactivate Active Desktop?

Hey Mike - that's not much help: Can you remember what you did?

I will also point out that this fault (almost certainly) has the same cause
as described in our other discussion (Michael Moser: mobysnc.exe hangs and
consumes 50% CPU).
I am going to try some registry hacking now...
