animated icons for windows xp desktop

[christine]

wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to replace
static icons with animated icons on xp. was told
elsewhere how to do it (and it worked), but I then lost
transparency on my desktop icons, which I didn't like.
Also got the suggestion to make up a html page, and add
the animations I wanted ... this would work for just
decorations, but not to replace my folder icons with
animated icons. Especially as my desktop is a wallpaper
program which rotates my desktop wallpaper every minute...
anyone have any more ideas for me???
