Keeping form always on bottom [Resolved]
I know it is possible to make a form that's always on top of other forms. But what I need is a way to make a form that always stays on the bottom...
I'll explain myself: I need my app to be somesort of desktop. It should stay over the Windows desktop, but below any applications. For example: I start explorer with 'Shell "explorer C:\", vbNormalFocus', explorer pops-up and then when I click my own form again it goes over the explorer I opened. THAT shouldn't happen, it should stay below the explorer even when I click it. Like a desktop. 
There's probably somesort of API that should do the trick. But I haven't a clue which one, and there's kind of a lot of API's. 
Can you help me?

No matter how fool-proof your program is, there will always be a better fool.

Damn! I've used SetWindowPos to get a window on top so many times. I could've guessed I should use '1' to put it on the bottom. As '-1' is used to put it on top. 
Thanx.

Ah, not as good as the badger one that - you should check out the dancing scooby, that'd go well with that tune:
