- Using the Window Wizard, if the minimize and/or maximize system menu items are removed, the minimize and/or maximize buttons in the upper right corner will be disabled.
- If you remove one or the other, the buttons will be visible but disabled.
- If you remove both minimize and maximize, the buttons will no longer be visible.

New Secure Desktop 7.01Changes for 7.01
- Icon tooltips may be causing an error, slight change was made to try to correct this.
- If a value in the sDesktop.xml file should have been an integer, but wasn't, an error would occur. This has been fixed.
- If Secure Desktop tried to start a program that didn't exist, an error would occur. Because Secure Desktop may be running in a 24/7 unattended environment, error boxes would pile up resulting in an eventual crash. These error messages have been removed.
- Clicking on an empty icon slot would cause a File Not Found error. This error has been removed.
- Clicking on a tab that was password protected would always result in an Incorrect Password error. This occurred because sTools was not encrypting the password, but sDesktop assumed that it was encrypted. This has been fixed, but customers should re-enter all tab passwords, causing them to be saved correctly.

New Secure Desktop 7 for Windows XP, Vista, Internet Explorer 6 or 7, and Mozilla Firefox 2 or 3New Secure Desktop 7!
Secure Desktop 7 represents our single biggest re-design, largely due to native support of Windows Vista. It was necessary to change how we store the Secure Desktop configuration data, how registry modifications are made, and even Secure Desktop help. Because of these changes, we have taken this opportunity to re-design the user interface, re-name product files, and change icon launching. We even dropped a few features.
Please contact us with any questions. Thanks! Happy Thanksgiving! - Duane
