The code I've tried, on of them will cover the desktop icons instead of in the back of the desktop icons.

#Include <WinAPI.au3>
Run ("notepad.exe", "", @SW_HIDE)
$handle=WinGetHandle("Untitled - Notepad")
$origParent = DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "SetParent", "hwnd", $handle, "hwnd", WinGetHandle("Program Manager"))
_WinAPI_ShowWindow($handle, @SW_SHOWNOACTIVATE)

$Run=Run("notepad.exe")
WinWait("Untitled - Notepad")
 _SetParent("Untitled - Notepad", "Program Manager")
Func _SetParent($TitleP, $TitleC)
    If WinExists($TitleP) Then
        If WinExists($TitleC) Then
            $HwndP = WinGetHandle($TitleP)
            $HwndC = WinGetHandle($TitleC)
            $user32 = DllOpen("user32.dll")
            DllCall($user32, "str", "SetParent", "HWnd", $HwndP, "HWnd", $HwndC)
            Return 1
        Else
            Return -1
        EndIf
    Else
        Return -1
    EndIf
EndFunc

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

Opt('MustDeclareVars', 1)
Example1()
; example 1
Func Example1()
    Local $msg,$Child,$hwnd
    $Child=GUICreate("My GUI")
        $hwnd=WinGetHandle("Program Manager","")
        DllCall("user32.dll","hwnd","SetParent","hwnd",$Child,"hwnd",$hwnd)

    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
    While 1
        $msg = GUIGetMsg()
        If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop
    WEnd
    GUIDelete()
EndFunc   ;==>Example1

I'm pretty sure you can't set a window underneath the desktop icons because that's explorer.exe and if you have window below that it's below the background as well.

My UDFs are generally for me. If they aren't updated for a while, it means I'm not using them myself. As soon as I start using them again, they'll get updated.

I am not going to hide the window, but want to stick it in the desktop.

Yes but if a window is hidden behind the desktop, its still hidden no matter how you flavour it.

I dont see the difference.

I think what the OP is looking to do is make the GUI the background of his Windows desktop, sort of like how Dreamscenes or VLC in desktop mode works.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

I hereby grant any person the right to use any code I post, that I am the original author of, on the autoitscript.com forums, unless I've specifically stated otherwise in the code or the thread post. If you do use my code all I ask, as a courtesy, is to make note of where you got it from.

Yes, that's what I wanted, but it seems no impossible for me to do that
