OK I will re enable it. I don't use the taskbar anyway. Hopefully no one complains.

I may have found a way. It seems to work here. I also fixed the missing tile and cascade on PM windows. 

I found a way to block the hotkey execution on windows where the action shouldn't happen. This has always been an issue. I will release RC_11 tomorrow. Thanks
