    Running the tests for NUnitForms leaves my computer in an unusable state.  I think I just got left looking at the hidden desktop.  So, two issues:

    1) After running NUnitForms tests, the visible desktop should be reset to the normal one.

    2) In the absence of #1, how do I manually switch back, short of rebooting the computer?

    Thanks in advance,
    David

      You can turn off the hidden desktop by creating an environment variable called

      UseHiddenDesktop

      and set its value to false.  This will allow the tests to run on your own desktop rather than create a new one to run on.
