How does one use User32 to stack a window at the bottom of the Z-order permanently like the desktop with the explorer shell which cannot be minimized nor can it go above anything, how is this done?

Well it doesnt go under the desktop.
you mean the task bar?

also, it doesn't work for forms because it's WPF
No I mean the desktop, I can already do a taskbar - I have for years rofl.
But no what I am trying to do is create an application that stays at the bottom of the z-order (not just within the application but globally). The idea is to overlay the desktop.
I am using SetWindowsPos with the flag SWP_NOACTIVATE but still if the form is activated, it comes to the front of the z-order.

Issue resolved - can overlay the desktop via GetShellWindow().
