you cannot. The list contains all hidden windows of all applications you're running. We just list what's already there.

For exemple:
- I'm in a desk 1 with "Window A", "Window B" and "Window C".
- I switch to desk 2 with "Window D", "Window E".
- I swich to desk 1 and I only have "Window B" and "Window C".

Are you using Windows XP with Dexpot 1.5.17 Build 1991? What's the window's name?

I go to this list to see that the "Window A" is in the list.
Since, every time I'll go to this list, I'll find this window in the list, even after restarting Windows. I have no way to remove it from the list.

Huh? The same window? You were saying Dexpot loses it. Now you're saying it's present after restarting Windows? :|

And how can I clear this list?


Because it's not really usefull for me to see that, one day, this app was lost by Dexpot.


Dexpot doesn't lose any.

How do you call a window that disapears while switching?

For exemple:
- I'm in a desk 1 with "Window A", "Window B" and "Window C".
- I switch to desk 2 with "Window D", "Window E".
- I swich to desk 1 and I only have "Window B" and "Window C".

okay, you're referring to hidden windows in general.
Dexpot doesn't lose any. They're just there.

Steps to reproduce:

- Restart Windows.
- Wait for Dexpot to be loaded.
- Open the "lost windows list".
--> there is many many items in the list whereas I've just restarted Windows.

it shows all hidden windows, not just those Dexpot might have lost.
Does this happen to specific windows only? How often? Any idea how to reproduce it here?

Good day,

I often "lost" some windows with Dexpot.
When I go to the "lost windows" list, there is too many lost windows that it's difficult to find the one I'm looking for.

Is there a way to clear this list?
Something like "on every Dexpot start" would be neat!
