I download the Virtual Desktop of Microsoft (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx) and Install it (is for having various desktops as in Linux)

I open mIRC (on 2nd Desktop) and all works fine until i connect and return to 1st Desktop, the mIRC app moves into

I mean.. mIRC appear on all Desktops

This just happend with this app. All apps (Dreamweaver, Notepad, Calc, IE, Firefox, Delphi, SQLYog, WLMail) works fine, just happend with mIRC. I test it with another app (i found the source code on www.pscode.com) and the only is mIRC

The problem happends when connect to a server and join a channel

What can be ?

i dont think mIRC was designed for use with Virtual Desktop. i mean there might be a addon that might help but i dont know of one. i have never heard of mIRC being used with Virtual Desktop. why would you use mIRC with Virtual Desktop anyways?

Why not use mIRC with Virtual Desktop?

I don't really feel like testing that... I've tried virtual desktops in the past and I don't like them, but if it's specific to mIRC, you might want to post it to the bugs forum.

I need Virtual Desktop because i open certain apps in Desktop 1 (the one that we need at work) and anothers on Dekstop 2 (the one that are not allowed at work)

the virtual desktop tool only hides it from sight, not from the administrators ;-]

if such programs are not allowed and they decide to act upon breach of that rule then you are screwed either way :-P

but yeah, mIRC should work together with virtual desktop tools... only thing those do is show/hide the window upon selection of another 'desktop'

Definitly is a bug

I try it myself with own code and when i hide the mIRC window it automatically shows again

This does not happend with any other window

I also use mIRC with the Virtual Desktops powertoy, but I don't experience this problem.

Perhaps a certain setting causes it, but I'd put my money on a script.
