Personalizing your desktop
Personalizing individual windows
Just as you can display a Web page on your desktop, you can also
display a Web page in an individual window. If you subscribe to
the Web page, it can be automatically updated on a regular basis.
For example, using this Web integration feature you can monitor
weather, game scores, stock prices, or headlines—all in the
window of your choice.
Adding a background to a window
If you select art or a Web page as a window background, set your
desktop style to Web style—or select the As Web Page option
from the View menu.
To add a background to a window:
1 Double-click My Computer.
The My Computer window opens.
2 Open the folder you want to customize.
3 On the View menu, select Customize this folder, and follow
the prompts.
Customizing window toolbars
You can display one or more customizable toolbars at the top of a
window. As you browse, the Windows
®
XP operating system
detects the kind of information presented in the window and
automatically displays the appropriate toolbar buttons and menus.
