Even keyboard shortcuts that get you to the desktop collapse what you're working on to the taskbar and make you dig it out again. Desk Topmost doesn't -- it just puts the desktop on top. Floating the desktop on top of everything else gives you easy access to whatever icons you need there, while leaving your Windows in place. It's sort of like a different take on the Mac's Exposé feature. Just like Exposé, Desk Topmost is most effective if you assign a hotkey to it for easy opening. If you open it up and then realize you don't need anything from the desktop, you can just right-click to close. Desk Topmost is available for Windows XP, Vista and 7.
