JAVA - Import windows taskbar/desktop icons into gui program?
How can you include the windows taskbar and/or the desktop icons with full functionality into a program, like in a JFrame or...anything, I've searched online and I can't find anything to do with, only stuff to do with blinking the windows taskbar and including stuff in the system tray.
Even some c/c++ stuff that could be jerry rigged through jni or something...
Maybe I'm searching for the wrong thing, or I'm trying to do something fundamentally wrong etc lol, though this seems like a completely reasonable thing to do.
ANY info you may have on this subject will be appreciated, thanks in advance.

You can make a Java program with the Windows Look and Feel -- only on a Windows platform. Used to be that you could call the hooks on the MFC using C++ and by extension use Java with JNI, but Microsoft has since moved on to .net. I would think to move Windows frames around on the Windows desktop takes C#, plus user privileges. Windows 7 or greater has another added 'moat' around their kernel and Microsoft writes a bunch of garbage on the first sector or the hard drive using the DRM module.
