Instructions

With the Mascot interactive desktop, you can decorate your desktop with mascot stickers, get sports facts, create note stickers, countdown to the Vancouver 2010 opening ceremonies and more.

Download the .EXE file to your computer by right-clicking the link on the left and choosing the “save as” option. Choose a location on your computer where you'll be able to find the file easily like your desktop. Once the download is finished, you can double-click the installer and follow the steps provided.

Since this interactive desktop is an .EXE (executable) file, it will only run on computers that use Microsoft Windows.

To add stickers to your desktop just click the "stickers" button and then click and drag stickers from the window that opens. Drag stickers you want to delete to the recycling bin you see when the sticker window is open. Notes work the same way, just drag them from the notes window and click inside to edit the text.

If you want to delete all of your stickers and notes at once, click the blue "reset" button on the end of the button bar. You can't take this back so be sure.
