My mac melted down after 4 years of use. Until i can get another mac..I had to temporarily move all my files and install all my apps on my PC which is normally used for gaming.

Windows is driving me insane.

I have one thing that keeps me going through the day that i can't seem to make work on the PC....

I like to watch DVD movies all day long while i work in photoshop and dreamweaver. On the mac i'd just keep the dvd player app open in a small window in the corner... and it would always just be there no matter what app i was in.

But with Windows you can't see your desktop behind your app (if the app is maximized) like you can on the mac. For example photoshop, dreamwever, etc all lock you into their interface and your desktop is not visible through them.

Am i just overlooking something stupid? How can i make these apps show my desktop so its in the background?

I hope that makes sense.

Thanks!!!
