This is a pretty neat feature. It works in XP, not sure about earlier versions of windows. Follow these simple instructions.

Right click in an empty part of your desktop
Select the Properties option[/list]
Click on the Desktop tab
Select Customize Desktop
Click on the Web tab
Click on New
Enter http://forums.british-expats.com/desktop.php in the Location
Select OK once the site is synchronized (You will need to be online)
Click OK and OK again and you'll be all set (hopefully)!
nice....so if you close the little window, how do you get it back without rebooting?
Follow the same process and rather than adding it you can select to turn it on.

OK, so you have to do all that every time you start up anyway I think. Still pretty cool though.
Neat - but unfortunately it makes your "posts since last visit" zero sad
