Hello, After exiting VDT and start it later, I seem to lost any settings I'm doing in VDT e.g. keyboard to switch to next/prev desktop. Do I need to "save" something? Thanks, Beery

I use and love the option to auto-start a desktops switcher window on every desktop. It works nicely, except that it never starts a desktops switcher on the default display. Is there some way to do that? Thanks.

I've experienced an odd side effect of switching desktops: upon switching desktops, the control key appears to be set in software as depressed, allowing me to just press letter keys to perform Ctrl + key actions. Once I press and unpress the control key, it no longer assumes the control key is set. ...

When using virtual desktops is there a way to make a window "sticky"? By sticky I mean have it visible no matter which desktop you are looking at. If not, this would be a great feature to add. It would be useful to be able to make a window sticky or non-sticky relatively easily (toggling a switch in the...

In several places you provide a warning that something either special or with significant consequences is about to happen, and allow the user to proceed or cancel, or make some other choice. In each of those cases there is a checkbox that says, "Don't ask this question again and just use my answer now a...

Is there a way to set a time delay when you move your mouse to an active border before it switches to the next virtual screen? I would like the system to wait for 2 - 3 seconds before it changes screens.

I probably have something set wrong here, but I am not able to figure it out. I am running on Win2K and no matter which desktop I am on my machine will randomly switch back to default. I have the mouse switching turned off and am using hotkeys to move from one desktop to another. Alt-1, Alt-2 and so on. ...

I wonder if there is a problem with just me, but when I go into "Virtual Screen Properties" to turn off the "Mouse Switch Mode (pointer on the toolbar)", so it is disabled, or requires a middle mouse button, it never stays that way when I restart my PC. I didn't want to go messing and looking in the regi...

I would like to be able to move an open application to another desktop without having to close and then re-open. Is this possible either from one virtual desktop to another or even from one non-virtual desktop to another?

I think VDT is quite hard to grasp! I want to set it up with a normal desktop, and some additional ones where I can put several shortcuts (e.g. for courses, programming manuals). I don't need to start any programs in these secondary desktops right away, but I want to have links to docs and tools there. W...
