The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    I had an idea, and I'm wondering if it's possible?

    So I was reading a "show us your desktop" thread on another forum (does every forum have one of those, all the ones I frequent seem to, even non IT related ones?).

    Anyway I started thinking about having my web browser as my desktop background, in the same way the in Vista Ultimate you can use videos as your backdrop.

    Is this possible and if so please could someone point me to some instructions on how to so that I can have a go.

    I run XP and Vista but primarily use XP, I'm guessing it can't be done though but any advice would be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance. :)

    In XP, you can embed a webpage into your background by right clicking your desktop, choosing properties, choose desktop tab, choose customize desktop, choose web tab
