1. Go to Start > Run

2.Type in:

notepad

Press Enter.

3. Copy & Paste the following code into Notepad:

Code: Select all

<p align='center'><br><embed src='http://files.myspace-toys.com/Files/Gens/countdown/countdown/cndplayer.swf?skinn=http://files.myspace-toys.com/Files/Gens/countdown/countdown/skin5.swf&bg_mc=0x003366&tcm=FFFFFF&tcu=00FF00&msg=iSRO%20gets%20its%20European%20Update%2E&tyear=2007&tmonth=7&tday=24&thours=12&tminutes=0&tseconds=0' wmode='transparent' quality='high' width='310' height='180' name='cndplayer'></embed>

To copy highlight the code by clicking and draggin the mouse over the text. Then go to Edit > Copy, Right Click mouse > Copy or Ctrl + C and then in Notepad go to Edit > Paste, Right Click mouse > Paste or Ctrl + V.

Whichever works best for you.

Bonus:
If you want a customize background just add the following code below the other code:

Code: Select all

<style type="text/css">body {background-image:url("http://www.urlofimagegoeshere.com/image.png")}</style>

Add your own image URL in the right spot and that should take the lame background away and add your own image.

4. In Notepad after pasting the code provided above; go to File > Save As...

5. Enter a file name and after the name type:

Code: Select all

.html

6. Press Enter.

7. You may now close Notepad by pressing Alt + F4 or clicking the red "X".

8. Now in your Desktop, Right Click anywhere go to Properties then click the Desktop tab.

9. Click Browse and search the .html file you saved before.

10. Open it by double clicking it or pressing the Open button.

11. Press Apply and OK.

Finish.

hahahahaha, what people do for europe

.

When i remember this one show, a starwars fan in the USA made a lcd table (if this is the correct term, not the best with that

) which was showing him how much time is left till the start of the new movie or something like that xD.
