When you press F9, the compiler will update a number of files in the
application directory.When the files in a directory are changed, Explorer
updates the window (At a guess, Windows calls ShChangeNotify or similar).
I would recommend you change to a different directory or close the Explorer
window, this is probably a bug in Explorer. The alternative is probably to
turn off the Windows Desktop Update - from my recollections of working with
Win9x the automatic Explorer window update is a feature of Windows Desktop
Update and doesn't happen when it is disabled.
