Yup!  I've had that happen several times, but I've always written it off
as a bug in the ShowText NDA.  I haven't followed the steps mentioned in your
article, but I'm pretty confident that I have done (unknowingly) something
very similar to produce this bug.  I will check it out this weekend.

Another thing that bothers me is ShowPic v4.27.  Every once in a while it just
decided to hang while drawing the dialog box for viewing.  I'm not sure whose
fault this is, but I have noticed one other blatant bug in ShowPic:  if you
happen to change 3.5 disks while in ShowPic, the desktop gets confused when
you close the DA and thinks you still have the previous disk in the drive.
I know this DA is just a hack, but some of these bugs bother me sometimes,
since I don't know for sure what's causing them.
