Can I add the ticker to my Windows desktop without having to create an HTML file?

When you have created your ticker, click on the Active Desktop link under the preview image and copy the image URL for your ticker. You can then paste this into a desktop item on your computer. To do this:
  1. Go to Control Panel and click on Display.
  2. Click on the Desktop tab and then click on the Customise Desktop button.
  3. Click on the Web tab and then click on the New button.
  4. Where it says Location: paste in the image URL for your ticker.
  5. click on OK, & then OK again.
NB This will only add the ticker itself, if you want to put the photo next to it, repeat the instructions using the photo URL and then move the two desktop items together.
