Thanks for reply Steve. alt+tab will not bring others on top of DP. If I minimize DP, alt+tab will bring others to the top of each other as selected; but won't override DP when it is on screen. DP stays on top even when it is not full screen. I can watch the other open programs move when selected but DP is like oil on water.

I'm using win 7 Home Premium on an HP dv7 laptop. If I click the "Show Desktop" in lower right corner, everything disappears as expected, even DP7.
