Making Desktop Background Interactive?

iScruuuuge · 2011-07-08 20:19:30

Hi, I just designed a background for my laptop with Photoshop. But I want to make it interactive, as in when I click on a certain place something will happen, like open a media player and play a song or open a web link. Please help, Thanks, Adam Vaughan

You used to be able to make HTML pages and set them as backgrounds in Windows XP. I think it was called 'Active Desktop' - no idea if you can still do that.
