Default active desktop

I can't find "restore active desktop". It's not where
it's supposed to be. Therefore I'm stuck in safe mode,
with a screen so large I can't click on close. Please
help on both matters.

You're probably not in Safe Mode - unless you actually see the words Safe
Mode onscreen.

try this
Reboot to Safe Mode
Open Device Manager
Remove ALL Display Adapters
Remove ALL Monitors
Reboot to Normal Mode - Windows will reinstall the required drivers -
hopefully curing your problem.
