desktop menu

[bronc]

I recently saw Windows 7 screen with a desktop menu using "Access Forms"?. Brightly coloured tastefully iridescent even. Bout 5x 8 cm tucked into the rhs top of the screen. THey have options for entereing Customer Joc details start date of the job etc. Ive got no idea what they were and how they were made. Access splashscreens? I would like to send a screenshot but am rather embarrassed to ask for one - but will do if I cant be pointed in the right direction here. As I recall these forms appeared from startup and emanated from the task bar as well.I noticed a reference in the code to Shockwave but that may be irrelevant?
I hope someone could relieve my complete ignorance I would be grateful. Thanks.

thanks for anyone who may have contemplated this question but i think im pointed in the right direction in that I think that these are bespoke 3rd party window modifications. So far Im taking a look at
