Here's a simple way to get the countdown clock you created to be on your desktop without taking up a lot of room.
1) Got to your profile. Highlight and cut the script text that was generated when you created your countdown clock. It starts and ends with the word "script".
2) Open notepad and paste the text there.
3) Save the file as an HTML (such as "countdown.htm" (no quotes)).
3A) If you have and "smilies" on your clock, right click on each of them an select "save picture as" and save each one to the same location you saved the HTML file.
4) Right click on your desktop and select ACTIVE DESKTOP/CUSTOMIZE MY DESKTOP
5)Click NEW
6)Click BROWSE to find the countdown.htm file you created (it's probably in your "MY DOCUMENTS" folder.
7)Click OK
8) This will add a new item to the list of active desktop choices.
Click on the check box next to the newly added item and click APPLY
You can adjust the size and location of the window.
It's not a screen saver but it's fine for me.
