I was just wondering if there is someway of constantly refreshing a page with out manually pressing F5 of the equivelent. Is there some sort of timer that you can set in tthe regitory or a 3rf Party Utlitly?
It would be great to refresh my inbox so i didn't have to come over to my comp and press the button each time ii was checking.
Chears Dale.

Not really. But if you use Outlook Express, and have MSN Messenger, you can set it to check for new mail and alert you with a pop up and sound event when new mail arrives.

Do you find yourself clicking the Refresh button in your Web browser frequently to check for updated information on sites? Perhaps you are tracking stock prices, looking at sports scores, reading messages on a Web-based discussion group, or watching an auction to see if the high bid changes. If there's nothing new, you will have refreshed unnecessarily. But if you wait too long, you won't see the new information right away. Worse, new data may replace the data you want before you've seen it. With BrowseFresh, this issue's utility, your browser is refreshed automatically if and when needed. Options let you control how frequently to check for updates, and whether refreshed browser windows are activated.
