Hi all,

I thought I'd pass this along:

<tip>
In Windows 2000 you can get any live page to display as your desktop by
creating an HTML file with a meta-refresh in it that points to the url of
your choice.

AFAIK, this doesn't work in Win98.
</tip>

I dunno about anyone else, but I'm surprised they didn't keep this feature
disabled - seems to me it could be used for mischievous (and possibly
malicious) purposes...

Toodles,

Chris.
