Nope nothing silly,
I just redid my installer script so it puts a - on the end of the file
name, and that works fine so it seems Windows has said at some stage -
this program called 'x.exe' do something to.
I am guessing that if I install this on another Vista pc it will be fine.
Wonder how I can reset this phantom setting without reinstalling the os.

Subject: [DUG] Weird behavior in Vista
Got this app that I just installed in Vista and noticed something weird.
If I open the task manager, then open my application I see that it
starts off with using 40mb of ram, then if I close it right away, it
closes on screen, but in the task manager it stays open and starts using
all the cpu.
Now, if I rename the file from a.exe to b.exe, when I start it it uses
4mb of ram, and when it close it, it actually closes.
O.o
Windows XP has no problems with this, it's just a pretty standard
application. One of my other programs doesn't have this issue. Tried
this user two separate users on the machine, same fault.
If im not free'ing something up properly then I would expect it to still
happen when I rename the file to b.exe
(note, when I rename it back from b.exe to a.exe the fault happens again).
Stumped.
