Standalone not quitting completely

[Jim Ault]

Along the same lines of running a standalone, I use 3.5 running on a  
Mac to compile a version of a simple app as both Mac and Win32.

When the exe starts on XP Pro, it runs, works as expected, and  
clicking my close button with "close this stack" kills the process the  
way you would expect.  In this case it quits properly, but only if I  
include the close button.

The catch is that there is no tab on the toolbar, only the ones for  
the open Windows Explorer windows.
Why would this happen.  (I am not a frequent Windows user)

Thanks
