[AccessD] SPAM-LOW: Access-D Desktop

William:

No, BGInfo is no good for what I wanted - not only does it take a.g.e.s. to
run when booting but I wanted SIX clocks showing time zones across the world
- as defined by me.

I wanted it on screen permanently, just minimised/maximised onto the tool
bar immediately to hand at a click of the button.

Whilst I was doing that, I thought why not show some BARE essentials that
people ask me, ie. What OS version are you using, what updates do you have,
processors etc.  IOW, the bits that I want and nothing more and nothing
less.  The answer was a mixture of HTML and Script Basic which I can add too
or delete from at will.  

If I wanted it updated, (eg, emails) and can put it in a clock-loop but
otherwise, it just runs the once when loading - you can then disconnect from
the net and the clocks will continue to show the correct "Local" time zones
as set up by me.  Connection to/from the net is a simple click on my mobile
connection button and takes circa 5 seconds to re-connect.

BGInfo shows some of what I want but not all, and it shows a ton of stuff I
don't want and takes ages to get it too.  It has its place and I like it,
but it didn't answer MY requirements in this case.

My Desktop.hta does what I need - I was only sharing with you guys in case
anybody out there might find a use for it.

Thanks anyway for the heads up

Max

...Have you tried BgInfo from SysInternals? ...it does all of this and a lot

more without any load on the system and works with W95 up ...I use it on 
every client system including servers.
