Hi, Bud.
Is the name of that program a secret?
It sounds like that behavior is a feature written into the program itself.
rather than anything in Win7. If it is a widely-used program, then someone
here should be able to recognize it and offer a fix. If it is a custom
program then you may need to contact the developer - perhaps there is a
website with some answers.
