Aaron Posted November 27, 2001 Share Posted November 27, 2001 I use CoolInfo to show my PC stats on the desktop (CPU Usage, RAM Usage, IP address, uptime, etc) but no weather or stock info I'm afraid!I also use a DOS Uptime tool, I go into the command prompt and type UPTIME if this file is placed into c: (extract it from the zip first!)

sedative Posted November 27, 2001 Share Posted November 27, 2001 weatherbug (www.weatherbug.com) is a neat little program. it doesn't show the weather on your desktop though, it has a little icon in the taskbar that shows the current temperature.

babis Posted November 27, 2001 Author Share Posted November 27, 2001 Thanks for reply, I tired finding coolinfo, came up withh**p://www.joshmeier.net/ci/but it was down "i think"then tried fileflash.com and same couldn't download the file. Oh well.Anyhow actually in windowsxp, goto the command prompt (start::::run::::cmd) then type: systeminfo make sure to scroll up and you will notice your uptime ;-)I'll check back later this week for the file.Thanks again for the rec ;-0Hey weatherbug is some hardcore weather proggie .... I checked out the screenshot looks pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well.[/quote:e26dd0cecc]That's because the author changed the name to CoolMon because "Cool Info" is trademarked. Anyways, the homepage is here:http://daisyman.arsware.org/coolinfo/NOTICE:[/color:e26dd0cecc] You don't have to do the h**p thingy anymore, just make sure the box below that says "Automatically parse URLs" isn't checked unless it's a link to YOUR site. It's easier to cut-n-paste the URL w/o the ** anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
