What software are you using to display sytem uptime on xp de

[babis]

Hi there,

I need recommendations for dynamic software on desktop that controls say "system uptime, local weather,etc.."

..........hope that made sense

Any ideas?

I'm only familir with infotop, uses .NET and it can disply sys uptime, stocks, weather,etc..

Please rec software you've used successfully with winxp ;-)

Thanks in advance.

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!)

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.

Thanks for reply,

I tired finding coolinfo, came up with

h**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 ;-0

Hey weatherbug is some hardcore weather proggie .... I checked out the screenshot looks pretty cool.

That's because the author changed the name to CoolMon because "Cool Info" is trademarked. Anyways, the homepage is here:

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.
