David,
Thanks for fixing my problem…it worked like a charm! You have changed my view on this website. In previous posts I have made (old user ID) nobody would ever reply to my posts so I gave up figuring this site was useless. Glad I came back!
Thanks again!

I’ll try out what you said and let you know if it works or not.

The idea is that ‘since the app is running, it should be in your taskbar.’
So if I pin the open instance of AIM and remove the favorite on my taskbar, what will happen once I close out AIM? I still want to have a favorite link for AIM on my taskbar, I just don’t want it double opening when I’m using the program.
