=============================
Installation
=============================

OS: Windows
Windows Media Player: Version 9 or greater
Google Desktop Version: 3 or greater

Double-click Green Light.msi to install the plug-in.

Uninstall the plug-in through the Add or Remove Programs 
  action in the Windows control panel.


=============================
Usage
=============================

Choose the file to check, including path, and how often
the plug-in should check for the file's existence.  The
red light displays if the file does not exist and the 
green light displays if it does.

To check that a website or webpage is available, simply 
enter the URL.  Any string that starts with "http" 
(without the quotes) will be interpreted as a website.


=============================
Known Issues
=============================

Funny things happen when you remove and add the plug-in without
first stopping the checking.  Basically, it acts like a separate
copy of the plug-in is running.  If you change the file the plug-in
is supposed to check, it checks both.  If not, you get multiple 
notifications of the state change.  I've tried a number of ways to 
get around this, but I think the only way is to upgrade to
Google Desktop 3 and for me to use a new function that's available
in that version.

WORKAROUND - exit Google Desktop and restart.  That kills the previous
incarnations of the plug-in.
