Some loose thoughts on the subject:

Many libraries are using web pages for this purpose. A browser comes up on
startup, pointing to a web page with a custom graphic with several hotlink
areas. 

Furthermore, Internet Explorer 4 (still in beta, I think) couples into Windows
more tightly, and the desktop takes on more aspects of the browser page. Thus
I think you can see Microsoft's direction here -- integrating the two.

Maybe you're just a little ahead of your time :-)
