This may seem minor, but for heavy keyboard users it is truly a PITA.

When I minimize IE on this machine (only), it comes right back up when I hit alt-tab. On all other machines it drops to the end of the "alt-tab" list.

I know that it SHOULD do that when you minimize by just clicking on the displayed icon bar (the visible task list on the bottom of your desktop screen). But I'm also getting this behavior when hitting the minimize box and when using minimize from the application's system menu.

In case you have the same affliction, try it with Access or Excel, and you'll see what the proper behavior is.

IE5 on Win98. Thanks.
