Dexpot 'Remove'

Postby Yeti » 18.06.2010 00:20:40

When I used Remove on the Dexpot 'Destop Windows' to remove an icon, where does it go ? Because it is not going into my Recycle Bin. Is this where it is meant to go ? Is this the default action ? Because it isn't happening with me !

I also can't find anything in your help or FAQ files to say what happens.

Windows XP SP3.

:dex:,

it's explained in the messagebox when you delete an icon and it's part of the Quick Start Guide as well.

Hi.
This is what your Quick Start Guide says. It does not say where Removed icons go.
Also if I follow what your 'Important' note says, then it does not get Removed to my Recycle Bin. It just vanishes - I don't like that !

The MessageBox just asks if I "really wish to Remove the icon" - it does not say Remove to where.
Is it the Recycle Bin ? Is it gone forever ? Or is it still there ? (for me Windows Explorer can still see it, even if Dexpot or me cannot!)

REMOVING DESKTOP ICONS
For removing a desktop icon, drag & drop it to the Desktop Manager, right on the additional
button. Or remove it via “Desktop Windows”, tab “Icons”, right-click the item and
hit “Remove”.
Important: do not remove any desktop icon directly via your desktop (like drag & drop
to the recycle bin, or the desktop icon’s context menu, or the Del key), but only via the
Dexpot mechanism. If a desktop icon has been removed from all virtual desktops, you will
find it in “Desktop Windows”, tab “Icons”. In the bottom left-hand corner click “Hidden”.
Right-click the desktop icon’s list item and hit “Show on current desktop”.

it's moved to an area beyond your monitor's bounds.
