1) How can I forbid desctop-icons? (like HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
"NoDesktop"=dword:00000001 (1) for explorer)?

2)How to make all task-buttons (for applications) separated for each desctops? (they are shared for all desctops as default)

3)How to hide the certain tra-icons like in explorer?

1) Disable the desktop icon module
2) Setting within the VWM module I believe
3) Setting in your tray module

Read the docs and the world could be yours.

2. For xTaskbar you can use the "xtaskbarvwmcurrentdesktoponly" setting.

1) Solved! Thank you!)
2) I have changed some settings in theme.rc and personal.rc, but curtailed windows are still shared (( I use rabidvwm-1.2.2.dll, anyone know what exactly I must change?
3)fractaldesign, tell please what I must do to apply xtaskbarvwmcurrentdesktoponly setting?

fractal was talking about #2...not #3. #3 should be something like *TrayHide or some crap like that. Read the docs for your tray module.

Yep, something like this:

*xtrayHide "CJavaConsole 6d300000" "Java Console"
*xtrayHide "CJavaConsole 6d450000" "Java Sys Tray"

xtray let's you see the class/window info by shift+middle clicking on the icon. You can then add it to your config files to make it "permanent". You can also ctrl+middle click to interactively hide tray icons.

This settings:

VWMCurrentDesktopOnly in xTaskbar and
VWMHideTaskOnSwitch in RabidVWM

but its still dont working with minimized applications!

That is because minimized applications aren't assigned to a desktop. They are just off in limbo as minimized applications and are available everywhere.

So, it can be changed?

... wtf dude ... minimized windows are in no desktop!

I can see how that might be cool, to have totally segregated desktops but I don't know if any VWM module support that.

The assumption is (like DeV said) that minimized windows should not be in any Virtual Desktop.

The only thing I could think of doing would be to tell your taskbar module not to show minimized apps at all. It would be really stupid I think, but you could do it if you really wanted to.
