Application Shows on All Desktops (Solved)

Postby techiejohn » 11.10.2011 18:07:08

I have an application (Plan-G - http://www.tasoftware.co.uk/planG.htm) running on Windows 7/64 that shows up on all desktops even though that option is not checked. Are there certain application that don't support virtual desktops? Is there some way to fix this behavior?

No... it's running as an administrator. I tried any and all options, checking Run as Administrator in Settings/General, and setting it to run as administrator on the executable's Compatibility Properties tab.

Try this: Create a text file called mywechsel.ini in the Dexpot installation folder with the following content

Code: Select all

[Exe]
your_applications_executable_name.exe=move

Restart Dexpot.

I actually have it set to move to a specific desktop right now via Rules, but I'll try it via that file.
