I see. Well, thank you for at least trying it for yourself

I tested this in a VM with Windows 7 SP1 x64 freshly installed, Dexpot 1.6.12.2416 and RocketDock 1.3.5 - under a regular, non-elevated account. If you run RocketDock and then launch Dexpot with elevated rights, RocketDock becomes "inert", as if it was covered by an invisible window, and p...

Thank you, everything seems to be fine now!

Wow, thank you!

Nope. Disabled as per default.

It works!!
So it's just a matter to give Dexpot the time fully load and catch every window?

That it can't be solved, I guess

Even that works fine - no missing windows/taskbar buttons. Tested thrice.

In that case it works fine. Dexpot itself asks for elevation, and after it has loaded if I click in the tray the XYplorer icon the XYplorer window shows up perfectly along with its button in the taskbar.

Yes, it does. Tried multiple times.

Nope. I even tested in a VM with almost no customization in Windows or Dexpot except the ones stated in the first post. Could locale be the culprit? I'm on an Italian system.

EDIT: here's the log

Thank you heaps for your interest!
And good to know that the first bug can be solved. I thought that elevation through winapiexec was the cause because placing a link to dexpot in the startup folder ("the old school way" so to say) doesn't lead to the buggy behaviour.

PREMISE I have set Dexpot to run elevated at startup, along with a couple of other software, some of which require admin rights. It is convenient to be asked for admin credentials just once at startup, so I wrote a batch file that asks for such credentials, becomes elevated and then is able to star...
