As I understood the original posting, it was to question the design
of this feature.  (Thus, "RTFM" would not seem appropriate.)  I, too,
feel the Desqview approach is better, but someone up north there
must have had reasons for wanting it as is.  Maybe some sort of
TSR hack can be developed to alter this behavior if Win3 is loaded.
