How to show a list of files rather than square icons on XP desktop?

[Baddox]

I would like to be able to show a list of files on my desktop rather than the big icons. In normal Explorer windows of course you can do View|List or Details to get the desired effect, but I would like to be able to do it on the desktop. Anyone know of any way to do this? I'd appreciate it greatly.

You can make a toolbar for your desktop, then hide the icons.
