Take the 2-minute tour ×  I want to display an image on my
desktop. Not as the wallpaper, but above that. If I had a real
picture and set it down on an actual desktop, it would stay
there. I want to do that in Windows. I can't find a way to do it
that doesn't involve having the picture open in another viewer
program of some sort, with title bars and menus and frames, etc.
I just want the border-free image on my desktop. Sort of like a
sticky note, only with an image instead of text.  I can't find
anything online about how to do this. I would be surprised if it
is not possible, so I thought maybe someone here might know.
Thanks!  share|improve this question add comment  4 Answers
Windows Active Desktop can do that (but not in Vista and up).
In XP: Go to Display Properties, Desktop tab, and click
Customize Desktop... In that windows click the Web tab and click
new and find your picture. You should be able to figure it out
from there.  Beware, I think it uses Internet Explorer to
display this or something like
