- I would try the suggestions of a previous post and set the minimized
- behavior to minimize to the desktop instead of the viewer, but...
-
- I've found that when it starts "full screen" I can double click on the
- ... background, to get the deskpic window open, turn on the background
- operation (so the fish swim in the background on your desktop). and then
- select OK, then, double click on the "background" again, to get the
- deskpic screen up again, turn OFF the "background on the desktop" option
- (THAT'S NOT THE NAME, I CAN'T REMEMBER IT) and select OK again.
- It will go minimized.
