Hi Flearosie
Yes version 0.9.1 is a little old but it still does a couple of things that are not yet available in the the latest version (even 0.10.3).
The problem you are having is that the program opens in full screen mode. Pressing F1 should set it in a window and thus give access to the desktop.
To open in the windowed mode you will need to edit the config.ini file, found in \documents and settings\[your name]\stellarium
Find the entry for [video] and set "fullscreen = false"
Set the screen_h to about 90% of your screen height eg for 1024 x 768 make the height 710 or 720
Set the screen_w to your screen width
There are many options that can be set in the config.ini file download the 0.9.1 version of the User Guide for more details.
