To keep a specific window always as bottom-most in the display order (Z-order), you may use the free tool AutoHotkey.

The following example script will move the Calculator window to background whenever it appears, checking every 100 milliseconds:

#SingleInstance Force
#Persistent

SetTimer, CheckBottom, 100
CheckBottom:
IfWinExist, Calculator
  WinSet, Bottom
return

If the WinSet command does not work for your application, another variant sets the window to be a direct child of the desktop:

DllCall("SetParent", UInt, WinExist() , UInt, WinExist("Program Manager"))

After installing AutoHotKey, put the above text in a .ahk file and double-click it to test. You may stop the script by right-click on the green H icon in the traybar and choosing Exit. To have it run on login, place it in the Startup group at C:\Users\USER-NAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup.
