Windows question

[Lars Brehmer]

What would cause a standalone made with Rev to not show up in the  
open applications alt+tab window and not collapse to the task bar?

I have an application made on a Mac that I am testing in Windows and  
it does not show up with the other open apps with alt+tab. The  
interesting thing is that I have similar applications I have made  
that DO show up there, and I made them the same way with the exact  
same .ico file for the icons.  Furthermore, when I minimize this app  
to the task bar, it doesn't actually do that - it collapses to a  
small rectangular box just above the task bar that needs to be double  
clicked, not single clicked to expand again. Obviously something is  
wrong, and even though I am an admitted idiot when it comes to  
Windows, as far as I know nothing was done differently with my  
Windows apps that behave properly in these two respects and this one  
that doesn't. Everything else in this app seems to work flawlessly in  
Windows. Any ideas out there?

... a little bit later...

Ok, I have been fooling around and tried something for the first  
time, namely create the Windows standalone on my Windows test  
machine.  I never did this before because it has always worked fine  
on the Mac and I am an idiot with Windows.  Here is what happened -  
the standalone was created just fine, and it collapses properly to  
the task bar AND it shows up in the alt+tab open applications list.   
This is an acceptable solution, but there is one new problem - the  
application icon doesn't work. I copied the .ico file over to the  
Windows machine with the other files and in the standalone  
application settings chose it as the icon, but I just get some  
generic icon in my standalone. Now, this happens sometimes in OSX,  
but I know that if I create an archive of it and unstuff it, the icon  
then works. Is there a way to do something similar in Windows?

I am still curious why the standalone generated in OSX misbehaves  
with alt+tab and minimize because I prefer working on my Mac.  But if  
i need to do the standalones in Windows, so be it - but how do I get  
the icons to work?
