Now you can keep in touch with the foums all of the time!! I beleive this may only work for W2K and XP users.

Right click on your desktop and choose "Active Desktop" then pick "New Desktop Item" as illustrated below..

Next, add this url http://www.theville.org/desktop.php
It should look like this..

Click OK and it should start sychronizing. It might take a minute or 2. When it's finished it should look like this..

Just resize the window to get rid of the scrollbars and place anywhere on your desktop. It should update every 10 minutes. Enjoy!!
