Art,
It's possible.
You use the winsystm.cls, require it, Then you use the
WindowsProgramManager class. The doc for the class is in winextensions.pdf.
There are two example programs that should give you an idea to get started:
samples\ooDialog\winsystem\desktop.rex
samples\ooDialog\winsystem\deskicon.rex
The WindowsProgramManager class uses the outdated Windows 3.1 APIs, but
they still work. You may run into some anomalies if you are in Windows 7,
or Vista. But you can work around them. If you get stuck, just post
another question.
