Is it possible to display images on the desktop itself, like the
bacground but not as a background? And not as icons either. Anything
you put in the \Desktop folder shows up as an icon on the desktop, but
i want to display images directly on the desktop surface.

You can display a HTML page on the desktop
So add a image to a HTML page and then display the web page on the
desktop
To do that right click desktop Properties, Desktop, Customize Desktop
then Web, New then select your web page.

Could you explain why you're doing this? It would help us give some
more suggestions.
Also, one other way would be to grab the current desktop background,
edit your picture into it, and then resave the picture as the
background image.
Thanks,

Wha I want to do is allow the user to create text notes on the desktop
that would stay there, even after rebooting. Like StickyNotes that
could be moved around like icons but would be bigger and would allow
for a few lines of text.
Thanks,

GH,
i have written a application in VS2005 to do exactly that.
It uses a windows form to allow user to enter To Do's that are
written to a access database.
Then on a button click it creates a html page with the current to do's
in a list format.
The web page is then used to add to the desktop. It can be resized on the
desktop or moved etc.
The app allows you to change colors and even have a background specified for
the web page.
You can have a copy if you like its free.
Just ask.

Extracting an Icon and Placing It On The Desktop (C# Language)
I constructed a suite of programs in C++ several years ago that handle my
financial portfolio, and now I have converted them to C#. The only
significant problem that I have encountered in the conversion is this one -
extracting an icon from the 'KTEntryPoint' program into the software suite
and placing that icon on the PC Desktop.

After installing my application (which I developed using Visual Studio 2005)
on a target desktop, the desktop icon shows the icon that is assigned to the
application exe - which is what I want.
When I click on the desktop icon to run the application, the icon will flip
between the desired icon and a Windows default icon(file/folder?) before the
application is loaded.
Does anyone know why this happens?

OK, I know this isn't an ASP question. But I'm hoping someone here knows the
answer. How do I get *my* icon to display in the address bar instead of the

add a link to create a desktop shortcut to my website using said icon.
Anyone?

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
