It could easily be that I am just not understanding how AltDesk (1.9) is supposed to handle things.

If I have desktop items (closed) and switch desktops, shouldn't those items "disappear" until I return to the original desktop? Because the open widows do, but the icons themselves do not.

Is this right?

Regards,
Chuck Billow

It depends. If those desktop items are stored in the user's desktop directory, then yes. However, if those items are stored in the AllUsers directory, then they will display on every desktop. System items (My Computer, Recycle Bin, etc.), will display on every desktop as well. That is unless you remove those items from being displayed on the desktop.
This is all reliant on the premise that you have "Individual set of icons for each Desktop" enabled.
Hope this helps, CWBillow. Mr. Green
