I'm testing my application on a friend's old laptop, running Windows
98. It works to a degree (see my other post for a different problem)
but, when the user closes the application, its taskbar button is not
removed. Either it just stays the same, or the icon and text are
erased leaving a blank grey button on the taskbar.

I remember when I used to use Windows 98, I had a copy of C++ Builder
3 off the front of a magazine and all the programs I wrote had the
same problem. I just ignored it then, since the work was just for my
personal edification, but I want to sell this product, so I'd like it
to work as expected, and kill the taskbar button.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Buster
