22031 2001-10-20 02:11:00 Here's a cool tip for Windows 98, ME or XP:
Add Google to your desktop - just right click the following link and click Save target as:

<a href='www.geocities.com

Save it in C:\WINDOWS\Web as Google.HTM. Now add it to your active desktop: Right click the desktop, select active desktop and click 'customize my desktop'. Click Add, No, and type in C:\WINDOWS\Web\Google.HTM in the location box. Now click OK. This looks best on a white desktop background, but you can still have anything you want. Clicking the logo will go to WWW.GOOGLE.COM or type your search in the box and click 'Search Google'. A browser window will open and your search results will be displayed. You can't make it transperent, but if you add bgcolor='color' in the body tag you can change the background colour. (You may want to edit the image!) If all ruins your desktop you can always change the background to plain white.

<HTML><BODY>
<center>
<FORM method=GET action='www.google.com
<TABLE bgcolor='#FFFFFF'><tr><td>
<A HREF='www.google.com
<IMG SRC='www.google.com border='0'
ALT='Google' align='absmiddle'></A>
<INPUT TYPE=text name=q size=25 maxlength=255 value=''>
<INPUT type=submit name=btnG VALUE='Google Search'>
</td></tr></TABLE>
</FORM>
</center>

22032 2001-10-20 02:22:00 I'm sick of this Google shi- all over this forum. Here's a tip: Shut Up about google on the desktop!!!@! That lame trick's been around since 1998.
How about 3d pong and realtime performance monitor data on the active desktop for real fun

Yes you are clever adding the image in the title - took a few attempts ... clap clap you made it finally, now stop.

How about adding PC World....I can do it too. 		Guest (0)
