HTA APPLICATIONS To avoid the Windows system ActiveX warnings, your program should run under an .hta envelope, ie, as an application (like an .exe file). The following code opens your application under the .hta "umbrella", in a window of your sizing (in the example: 1030 x 95 pix) centered in the lateral direction and low on the screen. It does not allow scrolling.
Make a text file and save it under YourChoiceOfName.hta
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function Set(){ // this limits the size of the window opened and positions it
var l=(screen.width/2 - 515); // centre - half the window width
var t=(screen.height-130); // where you want it vertically
self.moveTo(l,t);
self.resizeTo('1030','95'); // as you can see, this example opens a longish but squat window, near the task-bar
}
</script>

A useful site for image conversions to icons is: CoolUtils
A 68x68 (or 32x32) pixel icon is appropriate.
