Hi Esther, Many thanks for your prompt reply. Yes I originally thought that system preferences would help me but on Mountain Lion I do not see any preference panes related to spaces. I thought spaces might be3 a subset of mission control or doc or desktop but alas no. Any ideas on what might have happened to the prefrence pane for spaces in Mountain Lion?
Is it possible that the default for Mountain Lion is to have two spaces each with its own desktop? This configuration seems to survive system restarts so maybe I cannot do anything about it? I will go look at cocktail to see if that has anything in it related to spaces. Best regards....
