I have copied the text and set it up; no problem, but it still doesn't automatically update, only when I refresh the desktop.
Any ideas?

You can un-check the box that locks the actuve desktop and drag it about/re-size it all... Move it, re-size and lock it in place, thats what I have done :)

Open notepad and copy the above text into it, save the file as file.html in a good location such as My Documents. Then set the page as your active desktop.

you can set up an active desktop (not sure if icons stay though) which is a html file, just use the refresh meta tag at the top to refresh every 60secs or so :)
