I have written my own invoicing program in VB.Net, which I run from a compiled exe just as if I had downloaded it from somewhere and run an installer Setup.exe. I also run a couple of other compiled exes which I wrote, eg. a database query program, and a holiday home accounts and bookings program.
All of them run as if installed.
The curious behaviour is that when one or two such programs are already open but not currently visible, being behind another window eg. this browser window, when I open another of my programs by double clicking the shortcut on my Desktop, briefly one of the other opened program windows pops to the front while the new one is loading. It's as if they are all connected in some way (which they are not, in that they are separate applications which do not refer to or call any of the others).
This is not urgent, crucial or even important - but I'm curious as to why this happens. Any ideas?
