:dex:

The problem should be fixed in the version attached here: viewtopic.php?p=31312#p31312
Save the file to your Dexpot installation folder (C:\Program Files\Dexpot).

To get rid of the window, you could kill and then restart explorer.exe in the Task Manager. Or just log off an back on again.

Phantom window shows in desktops

1. Dexpot version in "About Dexpot" shows 1.5.99, Build 1805, license agreement shows 1.6
& Windows 7 SP 1

2. No error messages, but in desktops 2 through n (no matter how many desktops I set), I see a (phantom?) Windows Explorer window of a network share on our Microsoft Server 2003 server and all of the folders in it. (I've probably had that window open sometime during the day.) You cannot click and drag the window, close it, select files, or do ANYTHING with the window. It is as if it is part of the desktop wallpaper (but, of course, it's not). By the way, desktop 1 does not display the window.

3. At this point, I don't know how to reproduce the error.

4. Other running applications: Chrome, Firefox, Skype, & Sticky Notes.

5. It doesn't seem to be connected with any other software.

If I exit Dexpot and restart it, the phantom window still appears.
If I reboot, it does not reappear.

If I can gather more information about this "unusual" behavior, I'll update this thread.
