One of the gadgets I have installed is the 'Feed Headlines' and I have it
set to display the BBC news headlines. The refresh rate on this gadget
seems to be around every 24hrs which isn't really much use and there appears
to be no way of altering this. I know that the BBC News RSS feed is updated
very frequently as I have received it via other means so the problem lies
with the gadget.

Any suggestions?

Regards

Alan C

The Common Feed list by default updates every 24 hours. You can change this
by going to Control Panel -> Network and Internet -> Internet Options ->
Content -> Feed settings.

You can change individual feed settings by opening Internet Explorer for
example, going to the feed list and going to properties on the individual
feeds.

Paul,

Many thanks. I've adjusted the refresh rate as described. I hadn't
realised that ALL RSS feed settings were controlled from there; you live and
learn - again!

Regards and thanks
