Windows Vista Active Desktop replacement simulater

Here's how you can "put back" and re-enabled your favorite active desktop things, if you're using Windows Vista (which has removed or disabled this feature from their product!) 



<html><head><title>Vista Active Desktop</title>
<HTA:APPLICATION ID="Vista Active Desktop" 
 APPLICATIONNAME="Vista Active Desktop" SCROLL="no" 
 CAPTION="no" BORDER="none" INNERBORDER="no" MAXIMIZEBUTTON="no"

 NAVIGABLE="no" CONTEXTMENU="no" SINGLEINSTANCE="yes" ICON="C:\Windows\System32\acwizard.ico">
<script language="VBScript">
  'On Error Resume Next 
  window.resizeTo 410, 360 
  window.moveTo 410, 360 
</script>
</head>
<body BOTTOMMARGIN=0 LEFTMARGIN=0 RIGHTMARGIN=0 SCROLL="no" TOPMARGIN=0
      BGCOLOR="ECE9D8" xonLoad="document.body.innerHtml=obj.fn('parm')">
<iframe src="http://www.lego.com/" style="width:410; height:360"></iframe>
</body></html>

I recall there's also a way to hide the start-bar button, but I'm too busy to hunt down how that's done right now.

If anyone wants to email me the solution, I'll put it into the above.

It's also possible, with some DHTML and script, to simulate the appearing border and "dragability" of this as well - again - if you want to email me the script, I'll put it in!

In case it's not immediately obvious - the above, when saved in a xxx.hta file, then opened via "Start -> Run -> xxx.hta", will open a web page in a window with no frame or borders. You'll need to replace "lego.com" with some site or HTML that you want to display in your active desktop, and adjust the resizeTo and moveTo numbers to place it wherever you decide..
