Windows 7 RC - Icon's don't vanish between virtual desktops

Not really expecting support on this since Windows 7 is pre-release, but I'm not currently able to customize my different virtual desktops with different icons.

When the option is enabled and you switch desktops, the icons are supposed to vanish and you're supposed to be able to customize each virtual desktop individually, but my icons stay the same.

In Windows 7 they have removed the ability to disable auto-arrange in folders, so you can no longer create a folder, drag icons to where you want them and have it be remembered. A huge regression in interface design IMO.

Because of this, I've been looking for either explorer mods or alternatives that have a similar effect, and Dexpot would be perfect.

Works fine for me (Build 7100 32bit). Could you get a log file for us?

I am having the same problems and when I go to desktop windows and click on the icon tab nothing shows up. I have enabled the log file, but I can not find it anywhere. I am using windows 7. Please help.

There will be a fix in 1.5.
