Gif pictures on windows desktop

I have some animated gif that I want to put on my desktop.

Do you know some sort of software to do this? I would like them to be in the form of movable panels (such as done in the "fences", but the fences for the icons, they can not put a background image, the more animated)

1Doesn't Windows have this built in, under the name of "Active Desktop"? (Speaking of, which operating system, @Fedcomp?) – user1686 – 2012-03-07T20:58:17.290

Ha, awesome, nice little bit of work that. I remember they were all the rage when I first started getting into PC's in a big way. My friend had them everywhere. it was kind of his calling card. – Joe Taylor – 2012-03-07T20:58:53.137

1So which OS do you have then, please? – slhck – 2012-03-07T21:14:30.723

@Fedcomp: Uh, removed? It still exists in Windows XP. Makes for great wallpapers.

Seems like Windows Dreamscene is the way to go:

Windows DreamScene is a utility that allows videos and other optimized animations to be used as desktop wallpapers. It is one of the Windows Ultimate Extras.
