Shortcut icons for today screen

Hey....newbie here.

I'm trying to find a program that will allow me to put shortcut icons on my today screen (desktop). I have seen a couple of cool looking today screens with shortcuts, 5 day weather forcast, battery meter, memory meter etc etc on them. Can anybody tell me where I can get these programs? Which one is the best? Are any of them freeware?

Thanks

Those programs are called Today Plug-ins. Here's a simple freeware one to start you off. It's called Launcher.

It's not free, but SPB Pocket plus is a good choice to put icons on your today screen (also enhances PIE, file explorer and the close button).
For weather, Marsware Weatherpanel is a good choice.

Give http://www.pocketpcfreeware.com/en/index.php a look- in the today plugin area, of course. Great site!

It costs $ but Pocket plus is worth every penny.
