    Hi Chris,

    The EndUser entery is required to be there as it is the main application.
    We made the decision to add another task bar entery for the report explorer
    because customers were finding it difficult to located the explorer window
    when it was minimized to the bottom left corner of the screen (sometimes
    behind other windows. If you would like to convert back to the older way of
    handling the explorer window, follow these steps.

    To revert back to the way RB 6 worked you will need to change two lines of
    code in the ReportBuilder Source...

    - In the ppDsIntf.pas, comment out the following line of code from the
    TppComponentDesigner.CreateParams method.

    Params.ExStyle := Params.ExStyle or WS_EX_APPWINDOW; {Comment out this
    line}

    - Comment out the same line of code from the ppExpFrm.pas file inside the
    TppReportExplorerForm.CreateParams method.
