O.K. Scriptkiddies!

I was hoping that someone might want a challenge.

I have been looking at AngelCodes Desktop Overlay code that allows for a directdraw screen animation to be displayed onto the win32 desktop.
http://www.angelcode.com/dev/overlay/
"This demo will show an animated image like an old TV without signal on your desktop, under your windows and icons. It does this by using DirectDraw overlay surfaces that are masked to the desktop background color. DirectX 7 or later is needed to run the demo. "

Now for the newbee question and hopefully one might be up for this challenge (NOTE: do not care about being a resource hog).

I would like to know how to draw a very very basic box, 3d object, or load a image into that code instead of the static screen the code shows.
Exmaple: http://www.cplusplus.com/src/direct3d.zip

AngelCode does not have the time as he is very busy.

Now, I have searched and searched the web with only answers like "Just use Active Desktop", but I do not want to do a gif/flash animation.

I would like to get a code sample to show a simple 3d box on the desktop.

Very Very basic so that my little brain can get that light bulb going to go "OH THATS HOW THEY DO IT!"

I hope that one of you would like a challenge, or even help out a newbee at this to get my brain, and coding in the right direction.

Sure it might be a dumb thing to do, but I would realy like to learn how anyways.

Thank You
