TWF Vista Desktop Gadget

[Darren]

Got Windows Vista? Use the Sidebar?

The attached gadget will show the latest 5 TWF threads in your Windows Vista Sidebar

Download here

Save it locally, double click it to install and that should be it. It will only show new threads, not new posts.

I got some clocks - is there a missing link ?

Glad I am not the only one having problems, don't feel so technologically inept now.

You can do it by subscribing to TWF RSS feed; then when you enable the Feed Headlines gadget, it gives you the choice of all your subscribed feeds (check in your 'favourites' pane, click on the orange RSS feed icon, you'll see them).

Unfortunately you can only see one feed at a time in the gadget; I guess Coach's program might enable this feed to run as a separate gadget - but if so, I too can't get it to work. Tried moving it to the Sidebar folder (in my user, application data etc etc) but no joy...

yeah i saved it there originally. i thought mabye it was my WINrar messing it up. but i dont think thats the problem

Save it in there with the folder name *.Gadget (e.g. TWF.Gadget), add it and all should be well.

You beauty - got it!
Actually also moved it to Program Files, Windows Sidebar so it wasn't just in my user.
It's cool - thanks Coach (& Swee)!

Cute!

Should only have requried 'running' (ie. save locally, then double click) and Windows Sidebar should have taken care of the rest to install it and add it to the Sidebar

Hmmm... maybe giving up work has killed off my IT skills!

On that note - anyone have any idea how I can get Windows Mail (in Vista) to import mail from a .pst file? Does it just not recognise the format, or where do I need to save it for it to import?
