My VB6 program does not appear in the Taskbar, why?

My VB6 executable program does not appear in the Taskbar now, when it is loaded. Previous versions used to do so.

I recently added the ability to resize the MSFlexGrid in my VB6 Directory_Checker program which compares files in two directories side by side, and added ShellExecute to allow users to double click to load a displayed file from either directory. I also added the Right Mouse feature so it loads up a pop up menu when over the Display Files MSFlexGrid.

Now My VB6 program does not appear in the Taskbar, on initial load or when minmized. It simply loads up with no Taskbar Icon and then minimizes to the bottom left part of the screen. Does anyone know why this is.

My program is wrapped with Softwrap 6.11, and I use InstallShield 5 to build its install set.

If you want to take a look at I can give you a web address to check out what it is doing.

Have you checked to make sure the ShowInTaskBar property it set to true?

Hope this helps.
