I just wanted to let everybody know that I submitted an update to Addons and Contributed Modules for desktop data.

I found a way to use desktop data with vista by using a sidebar gadget called active desktop.

Inside there is a folder called Vista Active Desktop Gadget.
You will find details inside.

Cheers!

Thank you for this add-on. I have to tell you that I am just setting up my zen cart store now, and I am NOT a technical person by anyone's standards [I really don't even know HTML but can now get done what I have to by reading a "cheat sheet", but I just wanted to let you know that I did it - installed Desktop Data on my VISTA desktop just by following your instructions and adding the "Active Desktop" gadget that beasleybub mentioned in post #95.

Thank you!

Lisa

Hello,

Fantastic gadget got it working great on Vista but I can't get it working on the XP desktop.

I am right clicking the desktop choosing Properties > Desktop > Customise Desktop > Web

I then selected new added the URL of the file in form http://www.mysite.co.uk/my_desktop_file.php and clicked okay it then "syncronised" and then produced a blank desktop with no file on it (nor the original image I had ask my desktop!). I have tried this on two seperate XP machines with the same results. I also tried other websites eg microsoft.com & google.com with the same result so assume its not a problem with the mod directly but anyone got any ideas how to configure XP to work?!

Thanks in anticipation!

I had it on my old computer with XP, but my hard drive died so started from scratch, and the version of XP I am using doesn't allow adding to the desktop.

Corporate XP won't work.

But I do know that XP and XP Pro do work with it.
