I have the toolbar, but I do not seem to be able to 'undock' it from the taskbar. Every time I drag it off of the taskbar, it vanishes. Is that a idiot user issue, or am I missing something obvious? Thanks.

Which version of windows are you using? It drags off just fine in WinXP.

Also a note for my previous post: The windows toolbar seems to play nice with google desktop if you close out of google desktop completely first (as well as kill off all processes associated with it). Set the toolbar up how you want it then reopen google desktop.

I'm running vista and when I try to include the url above in the folder field, it says it's not a valid folder name...

You could also use Prism(http://labs.mozilla.com/2007/10/prism/) to create a floating window with the widget

Philone, it was google desktop that messed me up - one of the faceless background threads was still running.

b.engelenburg, I had set up the whole RTM site in Prism, but I didn't think to do it for just the widget - it works well, and I will give it a spin, thank you.

I LOVE THE IDEA! it works really well. I have it docked to the top of my window, set to appear whenever I mouse-over. Works well

This works great in Firefox on Mac. Thanks for the great idea!

prism doesn't allow you to go offline because it does not support Google Gears.

My PC is too locked down by my IT goons, but you can get prism to do gears, it seems:

THANKS. best tip!!!

Is it working on Vista? I followed instructions from the first post and all I can see is an error message: The folder name is not valid.

This also works great using Fluid.app (for Mac) to create an SSB (site-specific browser) for the mini version of RTM.

You may want to have a look at this site for adding gears support to prism.

Hi I am new to remember the milk. I've been lookin to do this. Can somebody explain me where do I find the taskbar? Thanks

Posted at 5:16am on July 21, 2008

@joanie.nieves - taskbar is the propoer name for the bar that (by default) runs along the bottom edge of the screen in windows - where all the apps have buttons for you to switch between them.

One other conflict I found is with Outlook On the Desktop - a great free app that puts (as you might imagine) Outlook data on your desktop

If you closedown OOTD first and then move your RTM toolbar it works. You can then restart OOTD and all is hunky dory :^)

That worked great until two days ago, using my workplace's old Internet Explorer 6. Now I get a really strange error:

Internet Explorer script error
Line: 10
Char: 314 /in case this helps someone to locate the error
Error: Permission denied
Code: 0
URL: http://www.google.com/ig/ifpc_relay

What does google ig have to do with this? I thought the page came direcly from RTM?

Any ideas on how to fix this? I've emtied the cache and deleted the cookies, but to no effect.

Thank you in advance

Same problem here - could this be some request other than http? (I have a proxy which only allows http...)
