All system tray icons belonging to DM2 (DM2 itself,
VirtualDesktop and all "minimized to tray"
applications) disappear from tray (icons of other
applications do not).

I must close all "minimized to tray" applications and
DM2 from Task Manager/Processes and start them again.
This lead to lost of all unsaved changes in applications.

    all you need is to register and react to following message

    m_TaskbarCreated = RegisterWindowMessage("TaskbarCreated")

    Same problem. DM2 crashes silently and the programs can't be restored. How do I get my data back !! *CRYING*

    How can I restore those windows.. they are still running and I can see them in Task Manager but I can't restore them OMG

    I had to delete this program. Too dangerous - DM2 crashes too often and then you are left with no way to retrieve your work!

    However.. after searching I did find two solutions:

    * ShideWin will help you restore the windows that were trashed by DM2's crash
    http://wistinga.online.fr/shidewin/

    * NuonSoft ShellEnhancer is a reliable minimise-to-tray app, I now use this instead
