Clicking 'Show Desktop' makes widgets/object lose focus

from Stardock Forums
Hello, I am interested in purchasing ObjectDesktop and was playing around with the demo of DesktopX last night.

I noticed when I have either objects or widgets running, then I click the XP button to 'Show Desktop' (ie - minimize all running programs) that the widgets/objects loose focus and disappear.

Is there a way to lock the widgets/object so they do not do this?

Not sure it is relevent, but I am also using the WindowBlinds Demo.

Thank you

From Koasati:

SHOW DESKTOP

"Show Desktop" does not minimize anything. What really happens is a full screen, borderless, explorer window, opens on top of everything.

You can use.

Winkey + M to minimize all
Winkey + shift + M to restore all

Or

Copy and paste the following into a text file and save it as ShowDesktop.vbs. Then create a new shortcut linked to this file.

Set Shell = CreateObject ("Shell.Application")
Shell.MinimizeAll
Set Shell = Nothing

and

Copy and paste the following into a text file and save it as RestoreAll.vbs. Then create a new shortcut linked to this file.

Set Shell = CreateObject ("Shell.Application")
Shell.UndoMinimizeAll
Set Shell = Nothing
