What is the name of the icon right beside the START button, bottom of the desktop? (If you click on it, all opened window close down into the app.bar)
I have hungarian Win2K, so I do not know the exact english phrase of the name for this button.

>What version of Windows are you using. I can't reproduce the problem with VFP8 on WinXP. Also, I don't have a "Show/Hide Desktop" button, but I do have a right click "Minimize all" menu item.

>>Dear All!
>>
>>Please confirm this strange VFP behaviour:
>>
>>if a top-level window is minimized by the taskbar "Show/hide desktop" button, then it is impossible to restore the form to its original size and position programatically. Instead the form will be displayed as a very small "Titlebar only" window.
>>Important: it is reproduceable in the case only, if you follow these steps. Other way, like clicking on the Min button, you cannot reproduce this bug.
>>
>>Steps to reproduce:
>>
>>1. Create a new form. Set ShowWindow to 2 (As Top-level) and Autocenter to .T.
>>2. Put a disabled timer on it, with 5000ms interval. Let the name of it: ShowAgainTimer
>> The timer event contains the following:
>>
>> this.enabled=.F.
>> if thisform.WindowState=1
>> thisform.WindowState=0
>> endif
>>
>>3. Put into the form Resize event the followings:
>>
>> if thisform.WindowState=1
>> thisform.ShowAgainTimer.enabled=.T.
>> endif
>>
>>4. Save the form, and run it. The form willbe shown up in the center of the desktop.
>>
>>5. Click on the taskbar "Show/hide desktop" button. Notice that all window will be minimezed into the taskbar.
>> (The test form's timer will be fired in 5sec and it will try to restore the vfp form)
>> But the VFP form wil not be restored to its original size and position, instead it will be shown as a very smallsized window on the left upper corner of the Windows desktop.
>>
>>
>>I have checked on VFP6 and VFP8.
