Desktop imagemap

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.customize (More info?)

Hi,

I was wondering, is it possible to use an image map on the desktop as a replacement for the traditional arrangement of desktop image with icons overlayed? If so is this simple to achieve and are there any websites out there with guidelines of how to actually set this up.
It sounds a simple idea which sugests to me that it may actually be quite difficult, and a quick Google search has not been very productive. Any help gratefully recieved.

Thanks

Dave

Assign your web page as a desktop item and hide desktop icons.

Don't we all. Middle aged women shouldn't be allowed to work in public, only slim 20 somethings (maybe 30 something as 20s seem a bit frivolous). Latham (Aus), Howard (UK), and Kerry (US) should DO SOMETHING.
