Getting Apps onto your background

[hawaiian style]

Is there anyway to get the regular windows apps impeded into your background so that you can use them when ever with out having to open anything?

EX.

Having the Calculator on your background but still usable so I can use it when ever?

OR....

Do is there software for that?

Do you mean like what Vista has with its SideBar? I think there may be a program for XP that does this.

Quick google search gave me this:
Microsoft Vista sidebar - XP sidebar design Thoosje.com
and some more options: Vista look alike sidebar for XP - WinMatrix

Helo,

Do you just want then on your desktop? Is that what you are asking? Or do you want them running in the background at all times?

Cheers,
