[DUG] Windows 7 Delphi 2007

[John Bird]

Program not able to change its taskbar icon update - the program concerned 
was being autostarted on login (ie there was a shortcut to it in the Startup 
folder).

Windows 7 introduces some disabling of startup features if they require 
elevation - changing the icon might be one of these.  I have realised that 
if the program is run normally (not from startup)  It can change its own 
icon OK.

This makes a bit more sense, but is still a bit of an oddity - for instance 
Windows Live Mail (Windows 7 mail program) changes its icon when new mail 
arrives - that implies that this notification is likely to fail to show if 
Windows  Live Mail is started from the Startup folder....I might experiment 
with that, but so far I have not needed to restart Windows 7 often so it 
might be a while :)
