This takes all of 10 minutes to install. The directions could be better as far as the templates though. Some novice users may not understand the template instructions...
Even though to you me or whomever, it's obvious what to do...

This is how I'd write the install instructions:

Download the ZIP file for this hack and extract it to a folder of your choosing.

1. Upload "latest.php" to your forums root directory (not the admin directory)

2. Open the TEMPLATES folder that was created in the unzipped dirrectory, where you will find 6 .txt files.
Start with "latest.txt". Open this file in notepad or an HTML editor. Select the text of the file and copy it to your clipboard.

3. Open your vB control panel and scroll down to the TEMPLATES menu, then select "ADD". Paste the text you copied into the template content window.

4. Enter the name of the file in the box above the text area, with no file extension.

5. Click "SAVE"

6. Repeat this process for the remaining 5 templates.

7. Call up the URL of your vB with the latest.php extension added to the URL.

8. Make sure everything appears correctly and works properly.

9. Proceed to the intstructions to add to your active desktop.

The included install instructions outline how to do this on windows 98/ME. For XP, the procedure is very similar:
rigth-click the desktop, select properties/desktop/customizedesktop/web and then continue from step E of the supplied instructions.

This is a very nice hack, nice job!!!
