Replacing your desktop is not a trivial step. This is where we lose a lot of
DesktopX users. People will try out DesktopX, start grabbing a bunch of desktops
and find there’s problems with them. That’s because most desktops are made for
power users or at the very least very specific systems. They look great in a
screenshot but when you try to use them they can be problematic.
This is something you’ll want to explore very carefully. Don’t worry though,
it’s not replacing any system files and you can always get back to your regular
Windows desktop in a few clicks.
By
default if you choose load a desktop it will bring up your directory of
desktops. However, if you actually load a desktop, the system tray will have the
DesktopX settings dialog which will provide you with a desktop browser that is a
bit nicer and explains more.
One of the desktop options is to take you back to your regular Windows desktop.
So don’t be afraid to experiment here.
If the desktop you load hides your icons and Start bar, fear not, by
right-clicking on the desktop you’ll get this menu:
From this menu, you can get back to the DesktopX configuration or even unload
the DesktopX environment.
