HtmlWindow   [Deutsch | English]

This program loads a web page and displays it in a window on the desktop. It is intended as a replacement for the "Active Desktop" function of Windows XP, which no longer exists since Windows Vista.

The program is usually automatically started via a link in the startup folder, whereby the following parameters must be specified after the program name:

  • Title - Unique window title.
  • URL - Address of the website to be loaded.
  • r - Optional: Number of seconds for automatic refresh (0 = no refresh).
  • z - Optional: Zoom factor in percent (0 or 100 = no zoom).

The zoom factor can also be changed with Ctrl + mouse wheel and is saved automatically.

Any number of HTML windows can be displayed at the same time, but the specified window titles should differ from one another.

The window can be positioned anywhere on the desktop and changed in size - the size and position are saved automatically. No taskbar icon is displayed. To close the window, activate it and then press the Esc key.

– Please press the Esc key to close this window! –
