PDC Background gets a nice taskbar countdown!

I was going to try and integrate the countdown into a webpage that could be used as a desktop background but someone that should deserve to be axed made it so that Active Desktop items turns off the alpha blending of desktop icons, yuck. Sorry about that, maybe some softie reading this will fix that in LH! Yes Jon, there’s a chance, Longhorn may even fix that! Woohoo! PDC!!!
