That's right, good old Active Desktop is fairly forgotten. But, it's still a neat feature! All you need is a internet connection, and you're ready! Neat, huh? Well, here's how to do it!
Right-click the desktop, then select properties. In this dialog box that pops up, select the Desktop tab. Click on the Customize Desktop... button, which will pop up another dialog box. On the web tab, select New... then type in the URL of the site. I like Google for this. Once you click okay to all of the dialog boxes, you're done! A little box showing the website should appear. If you want it to be bigger, hover over the edge, then drag as you wish. If you want it to be full screen, no problem! Hover over the top, and a tiny bar will come up. Click on the first button there to make it full screen.
If you know JavaScript, you can make a webpage for yourself that has some neat stuff! For example, you can make a webpage with a roll-over image for the i-Candy. The possibilities are endless!
