I've spent too much time on this issue which I'm sure one of you pro's can solve in 30 seconds. Very simply, how do you (load and then) call a window from one of the links on the right side of the start menu?
I know how to load a module so it appears on the left side, but can't for the life of me create the exact same thing, except that the module appears on the right. Below is a little snippet that might jog the memory:

Thanks for your time!
Example:
getStartConfig : function(){
var win = new MyDesktop.GridWindow();
win.init();
win.app = this;
return {
title: 'Jack Slocum',
iconCls: 'user',
toolItems: [{
text:'Settings',

Anybody?
Condor, thanks for that, it seems to be working just fine. I'm struggling a little to reference the windows I want to create and destroy, could you point me in the direction of some documentation that might help? Like for instance, if you have a cancel button, what's the correct way of destroying the window it's in? Using Ext.getCmp kills the window, but doesn't remove it from the task bar...
/* Update: SOLVED */
I added a public function to MyDesktop.UserDetails (my window name, it's ID is 'user_details'):
MyDesktop.UserDetails = Ext.extend(Ext.app.Module, {
//id:'user_details',
init : function(){
this.launcher = {
text: 'My Profile',
iconCls:'icon_user_edit',
handler : this.createWindow,
scope: this
}
UserDetails = this; //This is how it can be referenced later, for more details see: http://extjs.com/forum/showthread.php?p=71568#post71568
},
removeWindow : function(){ //this function seems to do the trick
var desktop = this.app.getDesktop();
var win = desktop.getWindow('user_details');
win.close();
},
createWindow : function(){
...
}
});
Then called it from the handler as such:
handler: function() { UserDetails.removeWindow(); }
I'm sure there is a better/faster way of doing it, but it worked, so it's ok for now.
