The PowerToy doesn't offer nearly the features that Virtual Dimension does. As far as your problem goes I have never had that happen before so I'm not sure how to help you. I recommend using Virtual Dimension because it has a lot more features and costs the same: FREE! :D Oops, I thought I had changed that sentence in the article that said the PowerToy was better.

In a few weeks I might do a "part 2" because I have since found several other applications that seem to be handy at making the taskbar more useful.
