Hi...I have no clue what I am asking, doing or if I'm in the right place.

My husband had a ticker added to our desktop - it says it is a javascript kit of some sort. It's just a plain white bar and it has a counter that counts down days. He doesn't even remember how he got it on the computer (grrrr!) and now we can't get it off. Does anyone know how to help me? It's 31 days negative now (it was a countdown to deaar season...lol) and it's making me nuts!

When I click on View Source I get a notepad with this - and I have no idea what any of it means. Any help will be greatly appreciated!


<html>

<head>
<title>Countdown to Deer Season</title>
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 3.0">


<script language='javascript' src='http://127.0.0.1:1026/js.cgi?pca&r=6467'></script>

</head>

<body>

<form name="count">
<p><input type="text" size="69" name="count2"> </p>
</form>
<script>

/*

//change the text below to reflect your own,
var before="Deer Season!"
var current="Today is Opening Day of Deer Bow Season!"
var montharray=new Array("Jan","Feb","Mar","Apr","May","Jun","Jul","Aug","Sep","Oct","Nov","Dec")

function countdown(yr,m,d){
theyear=yr;themonth=m;theday=d
var today=new Date()
var todayy=today.getYear()
if (todayy < 1000)
todayy+=1900
var todaym=today.getMonth()
var todayd=today.getDate()
var todayh=today.getHours()
var todaymin=today.getMinutes()
var todaysec=today.getSeconds()
var todaystring=montharray[todaym]+" "+todayd+", "+todayy+" "+todayh+":"+todaymin+":"+todaysec
futurestring=montharray[m-1]+" "+d+", "+yr
dd=Date.parse(futurestring)-Date.parse(todaystring

if you're using windows xp just get rid of the desktop content.

I think it's something like

right click on the desktop
select "properties"
select the "Desktop" tab
then at the bottom of the window select "customize desktop"
then click the "web" tab
the count down timer may be listed there - if so, select it and press "delete".

alternatively you could just delete all the code in the source and save it back to the file - but not sure what would happen in that case!!
