Active Desktop Reload

Hi
i'm trying to build a Web Page that i will latter use as an Active Desktop,
but i want this Active Desktop to be reloaded every 10 minutes (or so), and in Windows XP i can only set Synchronization to a minimum of 1 Day
I've seen something about a CDF, but i don't know how this can be used in Windows XP
Can i use Javascript to automatically reload the page every X minutes ?

Thanks

You could use a redirect function, but just redirect it to you current page:

Example:

Place this in the <head> section of your page

**********************************************************
<META
http-equiv="refresh" content="5;URL=http://yourpage.domain.com">
**********************************************************

Then just specify the amount of time you want before redirect, this acts exactly like a refresh function.....see?

The
<META
http-equiv="refresh" content="5;URL=http://yourpage.domain.com">

Must be the page name that this META is placed in. Otherwise you get a different page displaying after 5 seconds......
