Slime Lunatic (VI) Mad Scientist From: Massachusetts, USA Insane since: Mar 2000	posted 06-04-2001 23:48 This is in response to an older question about how to get a search engine on your desktop, I made this page... http://www.karl.nu/slime/misc/desktoppage.htm Don't actually go to the page. Right click on that link, and select "save target as", then save the page to somewhere on your hard drive. Right click on your desktop, go to "properties", and click "browse", then select the page where you saved it. Hit OK, and then have fun with your new desktop. =) Any suggestions, post them here...

Slime Lunatic (VI) Mad Scientist From: Massachusetts, USA Insane since: Mar 2000	posted 06-06-2001 01:28 Good catch, just fixed that bug... I don't know how to make it work with dual monitors, what ends up happening? That's probably something that you have to work out with your display properties, or something. Not sure.

Quarath Bipolar (III) Inmate From: Magna, UT Insane since: May 2000	posted 06-08-2001 01:35 I have a question. This is an awesome tool for me at work. How hard would it be to add an optional txt field where you can enter quick notes or something with a save button that would save to a txt file(probably not possible for web format) or it could just email txt to a preset email address for the save? If it's a hassle it OK but It would be cool.
