    Well, I don't think anybody can give you a straight answer. Creating you own desktop is a major task and involves a whole load of things i.e. you would have to create you own start bar, have an icon for My Computer and everything. IT'S A BIG JOB! I don't think its worth while, if you have Win98 you can enable Active Desktop and have a HTML file for your desktop which could be very useful.

    Or goto: http://www.cintelsoftware.co.uk It's a great company that wrote the same thing you want and a lot of other stuff. The site is at the moment messed up, because they are redesigning it.
