And, that, Mike, is a Windows standard from 98 and 2000 forward, to flash an entry in the systray if the app needs attention.

>Or possibly, if the app is minimized, and something needs to be done (like the app must be shut down for an update or somethign like that) or an error occurs in a process. I wouldn't pop the app up, thats even more annoying, but I would flash its title onthe task bar.
