Desktop

It should work, and does work in the majority of cases. In order to help debug why this isn't working on your machine I would need you to to install WindowDetective (https://windowdetective.sourceforge.io/) and figure out which window is your Desktop and what the name of that window is.

If you are willing to do this let me know.

Portals is set up to expect "Progman" with a child of "SHELLDLL_DefView", like so:

If yours is not like this for any reason then that might be the reason.
