MSVDM Virtual desktop removes ALL menus & toolbars

[Andy-T]

When you switch desktops using the MSVDM powertoy, with Excel 2003 open,
after returning to the desktop where excel was open, ALL toolbars & Menus
have been removed leaving just the bare sheet and the formula bar!
I can not get microsoft to agree this is a fault, and there is no
notification or update regarding this fault on the powertoy webpage.
Other users are also seeing this, if you search google for msvdm and excel,
you will see several site reporting this problem, but nothing on MS's
knowledgebase!

This is a great Powertoy, shame it doesn't work properly with excel !

Please advise

Doesn't help with you issue but the powertoy is clearly marked with 'No
support'. It creates several issues with several pieces of software.

I suspect they give this to the 'junior' devs to code things which may add
functionality. Generally this is for the OS and takes little account of apps
that run on it.

I stopped installing powertoys a few years ago for this reason
