the desktop, no menu and toolbar are shown in the worksheet only minimize,
maximize and close.

The answer is not to use the Virtual Desktop Manager, sadly. I pointed out
this problem when the DM was first beta tested and nothing was done about
it

There is one known workaround:
minimize Excel, switch to another desktop, switch back, restore Excel.

I would suggest considering competition products:
