Hi!

I just got an email at support@winstep.net from someone using Litestep .24.7 as the shell describing some weird behavior with the WIN+M key combination. He is also running Winstep's WorkShelf and frequently uses the Windows+M combination to minimize all active windows.

The problem is that Litestep seems to minimize *every* window, even those it shouldn't (for instance, windows that do NOT show up in the taskbar). Because of this, WorkShelf and all the desktop modules get minimized as well when they really should not. This weird behavior of WIN+M does not, for instance, happen when Explorer is the shell.

Is this a bug with Litestep's .24.7 or is it by design?

Best Regards,

probably by design. I can't remember if win+M is a default hotkey or not, but have the user check his hotkey.rc for it, and if it's there either comment it out (with a ; ) or just delete the line.

Thanks for the reply. If it is by design I don't quite understand why would anyone want WIN+M to behave like that.

Anyway, the user in question reported that he is now using ShowDesk mod instead (http://loose-screws.com/comment.php?type=mod&id=233) and that this works as it should.
