Hidden windows

Post by peterbonge »

I have a hotkey tool with an option to minimize windows. Since a few versions I've noticed that there is a second windows minimized to a strange rectangle on the desktop after minimizing XYplorer. It seems to be a hidden window without a task bar button and it belongs definitively to XYplorer. What is it good for?

Huuuh, spooky! Has it got a name, can it be photographed, can it survive in sunlight? :)

Please, could you uncheck Auto-refresh and see if it vanishes?

Damn, no upload option for images or files. An e-mail is on the way...

The "ThunderRT5Main" class is the invisible main window present in all VB apps. Accordingly I expect your hotkey tool to have the same problem with all VB apps.
