Windows XP Taskbar Grouping Name

[Kevin Hartman]

With Windows XP, the taskbar has a feature to group tasks for a common
application into a single button. With a .Net Winforms application this
works fine with the exception that the caption on the button is changed
to the number of tasks in the group in parenthesis with no text i.e.
with 3 windows you get (3). I would like to know how to set the caption
that is used by windows when the grouping occurs.

Hello,

With Windows XP, the taskbar has a feature to group tasks for a
common application into a single button. With a .Net Winforms
application this works fine with the exception that the caption on the
button is changed to the number of tasks in the group in parenthesis
with no text i.e. with 3 windows you get (3). I would like to know
how to set the caption that is used by windows when the
grouping occurs.

I only know that this is a bug, but I cannot provide a fix.
