How can we use HTML as Active Desktop / wallpaper?

Hey, This Htlm file... Is it a picture? if so can you simply open the file to view the picture and print screen? (just use paint or something?)

@silverliquicity in XP and Vista you could set the desktop background to a html file or webpage.

From what I can gather they removed the option in Windows 7.
There are a few applications out there which allow you to achieve the same result, but I can't vouch for any of them as I've never been a fan of active desktops.

@joedastudd, the one question i don't do any research on lol, cheers
