Running Applications on my desktop?.....
There is a program called "Real-basic." It allows you to create new programs. Well, once you create a program with it, you can go in and rewrite the code so that when that app. is running, it runs on your desktop. The app. runs behind all of your open windows and will not disturb you while you are on your computer. I have seen screen shots of other peoples computers running apps. on their desktop. I am trying to see if I can find someone that knows a little bit about script writing, or if there is a program that allows you to do this sort of thing. Thank you for your reply-
