How to Set Auto Refresh on Yahoo! Widgets
Yahoo! Widgets is a computer program that displays small utility applications, called widgets, on your computer desktop. Using the Yahoo! Widgets platform, many developers create and distribute widgets that you can use with the Yahoo! Widgets program. Certain widgets have the option to auto refresh, which prompts the widget to automatically connect to the Internet and update itself at a preselected interval. If you have a widget installed that supports the auto refresh feature, you can set it up using the widget's "Options" menu.
