AveDesk is a program that will give you the ability to have icons on your desktop that update themselves. Each icon is in fact a "desklet," or a plug-in that can provide a variety of functions. A desklet can be just a regular shortcut, a mail checker, a calendar, a clock, etc. depending on the desklets programmer.

Features a wealth of customization options for displaying desklets.

AveDesk v1.4 seems to be buggy on modern Windows -- see the dedicated forum at http://www.aqua-soft.org/forum/forum/47-aves-apps/ ...
