Oh, my confusion here is that I always hide labels. I have so many pinned gets rid of the confusion. But chrome manages to change the text of the icon based on the profile. With chrome I can "Manage People" and add more than one profile. I can then pin each profile to the taskbar. Each profile contains a different set of saved passwords, bookmarks and other data. There is only one executable with different text for each icon on the task bar. -- cyg Simple -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
