    Hi everyone. :) I have a question! There are some programs like Desktop Plant, that the application windows are behind the desktop icons and in front of the background window! You can move the plants and put them everywhere!

    You can download it here, it's free to try and just 873 KB:

    Does anyone know how to do that? I really like to learn it. :):rose: Sojaner

        Hi Divyang Mithaiwala, Thanx for attention, but as I know, the plants are window, cause they have their own process and if you find and download the TaskManagerEx program in the articles, you will see that the process has a window, and I'm almost sure that it is the plant window. I know that there are some windows that make the main shape of the windows UI, and they have names like "Desktop" that makes the desktop window containing the task bar man desktop icons and a window named "Program manager" that contains the desktop icons and desktop elements, and when you hide this window, the whole wdesktop elements will become hidden! So I wrote a program that maks a window form and makes it the child of the "Program Manager" window and It became one of the thesktop elements, but the problem is that even when I try to set the "Z Order" to the lowest window, my window will stay in front of the Icons and the plants even!:( :):rose: Sojaner
