Maybe I can't see the forest for the trees, but I have a small excel table that I would like to place on my desktop background, but still be editable. Is this possible, or is there an app out there that does this? I haven't had any luck finding anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

And depending on the dimensions of this "[i]small excel table[/i]", you could open it in a standard window then resize the window to accommodate the space usually occupied by a 'Sidebar'.

Your normal active windows would then exist within a second active window on the remaining majority of the monitor screen.

This way your excel table would always be in view and would activate as soon as you clicked on it.

As for having an editable desktop background it is not possible - desktop backgrounds are static images (or animated in some cases), but are not editable.

Anyway, if it were possible, you'd still have to close whatever window was active in order to access or see the editable desktop.
