Lol... You are right Christian... I almost re-recorded the thing when I realised, but thought it was too annoying not to share [6]

Thanks... Rest assured those pesky clicks are not present in any captures following this one... e.g. check this one out (shameless plug Tongue Out)!

You know you want to...
Daniel...

That has to be one of the best tutorial videos I have ever seen. Really enjoyed watching it...even if it did include the clicks! Smiley

Had to register just to say thanks for posting it. I am very new to Channel9 so not really sure what I am doing yet...but have you done any other Sidebar videos?

Take care,
MOZ

Hi MOZ
 
Welcome to channel9 and thanks for your kind words, much appreciated Big Smile

Sorry, I have not done any other Sidebar videos but there are plenty of links to more gadget information from the links to my blog at the top.

For more videos like this one but on other topics, check out the channel9 screencasts section (and filter as you wish by clicking on the tags on the left of that page e.g. Vista-only or Windows Mobile etc).

Have fun!Cool
