Okay, it just happened again with NO plugins loaded.
At the time I had Rio MusicManager and Outlook loaded. I shut down all loaded programs and MC still wanted me to switch to this "other" program. Darn it! What other program?? When I select "Switch To" all it does is pop up my start menu as shown above.
This is a bug. If you can't fix the bug, please activate the cancel button. As it is now, I have to shut down MC from the task manager.
