Incidentally, dbwin.exe is one of those programs that is nice to have in
one's startup group when using the debugging kernel, but pretty useless when
not.  I use the following program, ifdebug, to conditionally run programs in
my startup group when using the debugging kernel.  Thus rather than having
"dbwin" and "drwatson" in my StartUp group, I have "ifdebug dbwin" and
"ifdebug drwatson" there (I manually changed the icons and description text
to reflect what program was actually being run).

Hope this helps.
