Wallpaper for imitating the Windows 98 desktop experience

This wallpaper includes Windows 98's Channel Bar, the startup sound, a music visualizer, a lyrics viewer, a web browser, and various apps like paint, solitaire, clock, and calculator.

Some web pages won't behave correctly because of the iframe security restrictions.

Right click this wallpaper and click 'Open in Explorer' to view the source code and the license (MIT.)

@XtalFMJ If you installed the system plugin, follow the system plugin installation guide, but enter 4 instead of 1 in the final step. You can uninstall the wallpaper by unsubscribing from it in the Wallpaper Engine UI or on the Steam Workshop page.

How do you uninstall this?

@G.O.O.D. Kid time
Is the window icon left click the only broken thing? What about other in-window menus?
Wallpaper clicks might be broken while using remote desktop software; tell me if you are using one.

Having installed everything quickly (the following instructions) and following them, the context menu does not appear to open new windows or folders. To open at least some menu, you have to go to Wallpaper Engine. How can I solve this problem or is it not the left mouse button that is used for this, like the web version, but a hot key?

@kanae do you mean you set a URL wallpaper in the background properties? Open Wallpaper Engine UI and click 'Show more options' to open that properties window again and reset the background option.
