I now have a strange problem with minimizing windows on my new desktop. Notepad and MSPaint, f.e., minimize to a small rectangle (with system menu) placed at the lower end of the work area. When I minimize an IE window it completely disappears!!! I checked with EnumWindows that it's actually still there, minimized and visible, but GetWindowRect tells me that its position is -32000, -32000. After I have minimized IE for the first time all other programs also disappear to -32000 when minimized. Thus my user would loose every window that he/she minimizes then. What could be wrong here? In case I can't fix this I probably need to add a taskbar to my custom shell and monitor the creation/destruction of windows. But then I would have to take care that all programs consistently minimize to my taskbar and don't show an extra small rectangle. How can I do that or how does the default shell do it? thanks for any idea! Nick
