Hi
When I disable and then enable secondary mon. I can't restore (display) Windows Commander window from taskbar (by double-click). I must hit Ctrl-Alt-del to invoke Task Manager and then i can display Windows Commander window when double-click Windows Commander item in Task Manager "aplication" subwindow. Any suggestions?

I haven't been able to reproduce this, here's what I did:

- start Windows Commander, move it to second monitor
- disable and re-enable secondary monitors
- both activating and minimize/restore using the application's button on the Smart Taskbar work fine

oh I justfound, this problem only affect that instance of Windows Commander, which displays FTP file-downloading dialog.

How to invoke problem:
1. Run WC (on the primary mon.)
2. Connect to some FTP with WC inner FTP client and start download some big file (mpg, avi)
3. in the confirmation dialog DONT check downloading on backgroud (separate thread, just let this field blank (otherwise WC will display another dialog, which is not affected with this problem))
4. Click OK
5. disable secondary
6. reenable it

I have been able to reproduce the problem, also occurs without disabling/re-enabling secondary monitors. It looks like the Smart Taskbar prevents the application window from being restored to normal size.

I will look into this, the problem should be fixed in Beta 6.
