Portable Desktop

Can a portable desktop/desktop manager be made. If it can be made I have I picture of what it might look like.
How/Ware do I upload a picture so I can show it to you all.

Take a look at BlackBox

Take a look at BlackBox running on Windows. There is a portable version at portablebox.blogspot.com Also, there are any number of Linux, BSD, Freedos, and other 'desktops' available.

bblean?

Actually I can run bblean on my vista machine with only one small annoyance. The start button itself doesn't seem to want to go away when running bblean on top of the explorer shell. I can however use wndlist to list the windows that are active and temporarily disable the start button itself, which is a window with title "Start" and a Class of "Button". For some reason even after disabling that window, if you're not in bblean, the start button still appears to be on the task bar, and clicking on it will still pull up the start menu, (I'm in classic theme/style). But the little dotted box does not appear on the button to show focus. The button/window is reenabled on a restart of the computer, or you can reenable it in wndlist as well.

Only other real gripe I have with BBlean is it's systray plugins don't seem to want to capture all of the Icon Notification area's icons unless it's fully installed, meaning a registry modification and a reboot, which would destroy it's portability. But most of the systray items I use show up, and some it's not that important that I see. typeandrun and Cafemod being two of them. I do really like the Trayclock that I found. tiny little anolog clock that shows up in the systray to replace the standard windows clock. would be nice if that one had an alarm that could be set, but beggars and choosers and all that.

I'm sorry...

I meant the portable one offered here, I don't know anything about the main project.
