Container for desktop icons

Hi all.

I'm new to vb.net.

I want to make a custom container for my desktop to "hold" desktop items (folders, shortcuts, files...). Similar to a folder/file browser, but without trees, sorting, or other distractions. Just a container... and the container window has to be able to be smaller than what it contains, therefore needs scroll bars for horizontal and vertical "navigation" inside the container.

I'm not even sure what such a control would be called. I've tried several from the tool box, but have had no luck.

Just the functionality of moving desktop icons into the container is proving to be a challenge.

I have read that the Windows desktop is actually a large "listview"...

Suggestions of any sort appreciated!
