...And maybe he runs it as a non-Windowed process? (Not sure if it might be
called 'non-Window mode', or 'Full screen', but if he doesn't have the
window boarder en-mass, he won't have an icon,
"BWAVE386(-Q/whatever)" or the "_,Windowed/Full
Screen,X" buttons.)

Jean, if you can see this:

Try  while working with BW to see if it toggles dominent
modes for you. (NOTICE: I have only touched XP when I've had to, so I'm not
sure if I'm just blowing wind here.) On '98, it will toggle between a
Windows mode, or a sort-of dominent child process. In the Windowed mode,
you should see an icon in the top-left corner of the programs window.
*This* is what everyone's been trying to get you to click on.
