I would like to add a gadget to every desktop in my company which displays custom information (just some text about new releases.) I have a few thoughts, a gadget which reads from a text file or RSS feed from SharePoint would be good. So these are the steps I guess: 1. I need a gadget 2. How do I get the gadget on to the PCs (Assuming its not already there eg In built RSS one) I have SCCM to deploy files change Reg keys ect. 3. How do I make it appear on the PCs without user interaction 4. Is it possible to stop the users from removing it? (Desirable but not essential. Ideas welcome...
