If you run the ancient Borland C++ Builder Ver 6 and the Windows Task 
manager on your machine, you'll see that when you move your mouse cursor on 
a speed button (say Run(F9) button) on your BCB6 IDE and wait until it show 
its hint, then you will see a new application appears in your Windows Task 
Manager's Application tab.
On the other hand if you run a MS application such as Outlook and move your 
mouse on a speed button and wait until it show its hint, then you will 
observe that nothing is changed in your Windows Task Manager.

Can you explain why the BCB Ver6 have this strange behaviour?

Please refer to the message "Secrets of BCB Ver6,...Strange, you should see 
this..." posted in the borland.public.cppbuilder.ide group for more 
information.
