Good idea :) Clippy is Office 97 and later though, so I'll need to make a version that fits in with the Windows 95/98 (or even Windows Me) look!

MS Agent would be a perfect fit for that. It's basically Clippy as a Windows API. It even includes speech synthesis.

IIRC it ships with Windows 2000, but works on Windows 95 too.
