If they start with TXXX you can be sure it's written using the VCL. I find the easiest way to find out if an application was written in Delphi is to fire up Spy++ and look at the window class names.

Alt-Space, one down-arrow, then mouse the app to the screen. @Steve Moran: I use “Move” in those cases when an application’s settings are screwed up and it opens off-screen.

I have made a patch for tooltips. Do you mean the same solution, or some more smarter solution? The taskbar menu issue is not that easy to be fixed. Even D2007 has couple of related issues with this. Could you tell me more details? Here or in my blog. I will be very appreciated. To CR: You mean that the two issues can be fixed in couple of lines. I have made a patch for tooltips.

I haven't. It's a case of "less is more". Thanks for the tip. Has anybody in the history of the world ever used Size or Move from those menus? I haven’t. It’s a case of “less is more”.
