Desktop Program

I was thinking about making myself a "To do list" kind of program. My problem is, I wouldn't check it. So my solution, is to make a program that's pinned to the desktop. My new problem is now, that I have no idea how to "pin" a program to the desktop.

Anyone got any clues for me? I tried searching a little but nothing useful really came up.

Preferably in VB or Python, the two easier languages ;]

Thanks.

You could add a windows scheduled task to run it at a certain time (every hour or so), or make it minimize to the system tray and then create a popup balloon every hour.

As for how to implement the second option, you'll have to wait until a VB programmer comes along, as I have no idea. I doubt making a popup balloon can be done in python, but I'm sure there is another solution (wait until Richo see's this).

I can make a program that minimizes to tray and pops up a message. This was going to be my second choice, if I can't figure out how to make a 'desktop pinned' application.
