    Extra help for beginners (from how? and why? question links)

     -To Set up your active desktop, simply right click your desktop, move your mouse over "Active Desktop" from the menu and make sure "View as Webpage" has a check beside it.

    -If you don't leave the checkmark beside "Finalize setup", it will not setup and you will have to redo setup, this simply adds the keys to the registry.

    -If you don't say yes to add the file to the registry, it will not setup and you will have to redo setup, this simply adds the keys to the registry. It will not mess with your computer.

    -After you restart your computer, To refresh your desktop, simply right click your desktop, and select "Refresh" from the menu.
    If this doesn't work, open up your display properties and select udesktop as your background from the list.
