Before clicking the Internet-Tunngle button, the FO window can be moved, but once it is clicked the window is locked. If possible, I would like it if the window could be moved and exited from, but still not minimizable.
I would like this because if you move the window to where it is in front of a desktop icon right before clicking on Internet-Tunngle (or if it was in front of a desktop icon to begin with and forgot to move it), then you cannot move it to get to the icon again, thus the only way to get to that desktop icon is by using keyboard commands to minimize every window. not even using minimize all windows command will get it out of the way (so, you're basically screwed if it is in front of something u need.)

EDIT:Checked if minimize all works, it doesn't.

Or click 'Run' and type in "Tunngle.exe"

Gamer, that has nothing to do with anything I'm talking about. I mean how the FO window is locked so it can't be moved (or minmized or made fullscreen or exited) after clicking on the button to go online.

Ohh..... I was trying to solve your issue with getting the shortcut. Srry.

Well, my best guess would be to adjust your Icons so as not to be burried under the window.

Well, using run would work to get important things (unless looking for a folder, then it will be harder to get to), but it is still annoying to have blocked icons.

Before selecting the Tunggle button I carefully position the window so it doesn't block anything.  Works for me.

However, i'm one of those people who likes to keep a clean desktop so not much in the way.  I'm also obsessive about keeping my start menu and quicklaunch organized as well. 

On the other hand my wife thinks her desktop=Document store and every few months i have to clean up her desktop so she can actually find things.

i find that using the show desktop keyboard shortcut of windows key + D works to minimise the locked fleetops window.

on windows 7 u can click the desktop icon in the far bottom right of your computer to show the desktop. in aero themes this may not be an icon but a small zone with no icons.

on some versions of windows u can right click taskbar (if this is enabled) and click show the desktop and it will work too.

windows 7 doesnt have a minimise all command so i cant test that lol. but show the desktop definitely works in all methods for me.

a remark with this is that the second you use the icon u wanted to open something, everything restores and fleetops comes back.

also if the fleetops window is locked and u use a taskbar command that moves windows automatically, like cascade, the window does move, but not the actual interface, it looks very weird. but u end up with even less space lol.
