I am going to have a look over the weekend, because I don't have too much time now, to see if there is any way of building a widget, totally by hand, or if there are any commercial generation software packages out there (and how much they cost!)

I know there is a guide by Micros**t on how to compile a sidebar widget, and I will be looking at that in the near future, just got to go and liberate my other half's Vista Notebook for that one though.

I'm still going to be running ahead with this, even though the project has hit this little snag, so more suggestions, comments and whatnot, will be valued. As for the suggestion above, about the rotating links... I am on to it, and that is going to be the next thing addressed, after the compilation.

Thanks for all your inputs so far on this tutorial.
Hi, You mean it will only work with the machine that created the widget ?
