Sometimes I would like to put a borderless image on my desktop. In real life
if I were to drop a photograph the size of a postage stamp onto my wooden
desktop, it would just BE there. By contrast, on a Windows Vista desktop it
is surrounded by the border and toolbars of its containing graphics utility,
and the best I have managed so far uses Microsoft Office Picture Manager -

It is such an obvious need there MUST be a way, but it eludes me. Some of
the skin views in Windows Media Player get close to the idea, but really all
I want is to be able to open a completely borderless image on my desktop and
drag it around, to be able to toggle whether or not it is On Top, and to
close it without deletion.

I don't know of a way to display photos exactly the way you are
describing.

But you can use the Slideshow gadget to make a semi borderless
slideshow of your pictures on your desktop.
