Forums -> UltraMon™ -> UltraMon vs Text Mode windows (Cmd.exe/ZtreeWin)

I'm using UltraMon beta 6 on WinXP Pro.

I did have a look back in the forum for this, but I didnt see any mention of it.
Every time I use a "DOS" style text mode window like 'cmd' (/me = Old School Geek) or ZtreeWin (32bit LFN version of the old Xtree), UltraMon doesnt put it's little buttons on the titlebar for swapping windows and also doesnt add the "right click on taskbar" 'move window to other monitor' menu option to swap screens.
If i move it manually, the smart taskbar copes fine and recognises the new window as per normal.

UltraMon needs to 'hook' an application in order to add custom window buttons and menu commands.

On Windows 2000/XP, console applications such as the command prompt and ZTree can't be hooked, this is a limitation of the operating system.

This limitation does not apply to Windows 98/Me, on these systems UltraMon can add buttons and menu commands to console applications.
