There's one minor issue where the Programs flyout opens to the left, but we'll hopefully be able to work with the Classic Shell team to get that issue fixed up.

We should have this all ready for 5.0 Beta 2, and we'll provide more details when they're available.

The apps all open correctly from the same folder in Classic Menu on the primary monitor and, of course, from the Apps list of 'Metro's' START screen.

I wonder if you can reproduce this. No idea if this is a glitch in my system, a bug in the integration of DF + Classic Menu, or a permissions issue with the Metro apps, etc.

Personally I consider this a minor defect but it is of technical interest. So far I have not found any 'Desktop / legacy' apps that fail to launch correctly when started from Classic Menu on the DF Taskbar in the secondary monitor.

All good wishes! ]]>
