Hi,
I'm using Windows XP and I just started using the "Desktop Manager" powertoy toolbar function. The one Microsoft recommends (and publishes) but does not support. (I can't find out who supports it.)
If I have the ‘Shared Desktops’ setting turned on, then this problem does not occur.
I only use Desktop Manager when ‘Shared Desktops” is turned off, to keep the programs separate.
When ‘Shared Desktops’ is turned off, Excel and Access have issues.
If I open any file (in either program) they start off normal. When I switch desktops, then switch back, all of the toolbars (for Excel or Access) are gone. Even the main toolbars are gone, so I cant save or print or anything because the toolbar with the 'File' menu is not there. Normally I'd right click on some toolbar to add back the ones I want, but there's not even a toolbar present for me to right click.
If I close the program and re-open it in the current desktop, the toolbars re-appear. But as soon as I switch desktops, then switch back, the toolbars disappear again.
I can’t find any answers. I’ve looked long and hard.
If someone knows what’s going on, or how to fix this, or even where I can find the answer, Please let me know.
Thank you,
Varga
P.S. Before today, if I opened 3 excel documents, they would open in only one window. Now when I open 3 excel documents, they open in three different windows, which is how I want it. I don’t know how this change happened, but I’d like to know.
