ObjectBar can do a good job as can Desktop Sidebar.
ObjectBar comes with a nice Vista bar.

It's called the sidebar.
You can get somethign like that for XP with many different apps, like Stardock ObjectBar or Desktop Sidebar or Thoosje's Sidebar or Google Desktop
I can't say which one's better, though

Yes I forgot.
DesktopX can also.

Wow I'd almost forgotten about that. I used to use that for a bit before finding Stardock. The novelty of a sidebar really wore off quickly though(for me that is).

Desktop Sidebar was designed to give you all the information you with just a glance using specific panels.
Each panel is designed to display reports and interface with other applications, settings, and virtually anything else you may want to know. The usage is virtually limitless
To date , there are over 500 different skins and many plugins from a weather panel to a flash panel ...
Desktop Sidebar uses minimal system resources, and is compatible with the following versions of Windows: Windows 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista.
Desktop Sidebar is FREEWARE.
