Stream webcam to desktop?

[Timmie]

I think this is the best choice for the forum section.
Anyway, I have this webcam that I watch (Linked to here) and how it works is it sends an updated image every 60 seconds, rather then a steady stream of frames.
What I am wondering if there is any way you guys know of that I can have this displayed on my desktop through a window and have it auto refresh every 60 seconds. I realize I could just have a web browser window open and set it to refresh every 60 seconds, but I figured I'd ask you guys how you would go about doing this.
Also, it would be a plus if I could have it store the images locally every time it updates, but thats just an afterthought.

Thanks.

See if this helps any... You should be able to link to a webpage with an active desktop and show it in a little box...

Oh, I never even thought to use Active Desktop.
However, Microsoft, in its infinite wisdom decided to axe AD when releasing Vista (my current OS) there is an alternative, but it does not function as well as I'd hope although it is better then nothing.
