Disappearing Items

Newbie here to DesktopX.

When I use the traditional "show desktop" icon, my widgets and rainlender calendar dissapear. How can I keep them on the desktop?

You can't. These are running applications and when you click show desktop any application on the desktop will "disappear" ie., desktopx objects or widgets, rainlender, winamp,ect.

"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
