    Desktop gets locked when closing windows.


    Soo, basically, everytime i close a window on my taskbar, and i return to my desktop, even if i minimize the window, i cant access anything on my desktop until i press the show desktop button at the lower right corner of the screen.

    Soo, using Win7 Pro x64 and asking for help from here, google got no answers....

    Thanks in advance

    Sometime when you leave the taskbar you will have to just move the cursor to the desktop and tick. My system work that way. That gives the desktop priority again.
