Not sure i know what you're asking, but I found if you get KDE for Windows, you will have the option to install Kate, as well as
Find Files and Card Games without actually installing the KDE desktop. You'll still have the Windows desktop. If you are
trying to avoid Windows 8/8.1 desktop, you can get Legacy Shell (freebie) and make the desktop look and act like Windows 7 or
Windows XP.
