Hello! This is my first article... and i'm not to sure whether i should be doing this because this isn't really about Stardock, but it is a help for users who don't have vista ultimate (so can't install dream) but videos on their desktop. Hopefully you can see the external link to download VLC

Windows:

Mac:

Once it has finished downloading install as usual. After the instillation is complete then open the program. Click on 'playlist' which is under the 'view' tab (or ctrl + p), create your own little playlist of videos. Once that is done goto 'setting' then to 'preferences' (or ctrl + s') then follow my Clicks:
===========================================================================================================================================
}Video
}Output Modules
)DirectX
then click on 'advanced options' on the bottom right-hand corner. Then click on 'enable wallpaper mode' on the last option. Then goto:
===========================================================================================================================================
}interface }Main Interfaces
}wxWidgets
===========================================================================================================================================
Now click on 'systray icon' click is so that there is a tick. Then click 'save' in the bottom left-hand corner. Then open playlist again then double click on your first video then exit that window. Then hold the windows key whilst pressing 'D' and that should take you to you desktop and enjoy the video!
