[AccessD] Windows Taskbar question: Access apps move around

[David McAfee]

The thing that is getting me is that Windows is moving them on me.
I have a bunch of windows open, so the task bar is pretty full.

I'm working with similarly named files, so I can only see the first part of
the name.

I do know which window each on is, until Windows moves them on me.

I think it is like a most used moves to the left, or something like that.
for the Access files, I have temporarily changed the Application Title in
the Startup screen, but it doesn't help with the Excel files or VBA windows.

GRRRR
