Calibre Taskbar Icon

This maybe a Windows issue, but maybe not.

I run installed 64 bit Windows, via a shortcut pinned to the task bar. Its the 4th item, I start it with WinKey+4. It works fine.

I also run calibre portable for test purposes. I run it directly from D:\_Sandpit\Calibre Portable\calibre-portable.exe. That works fine too.

Until recently when I wanted to run portable I could glance at my taskbar to ensure installed calibre wasn't running, if it was running I would terminate it before running calibre_portable. And when I did, a calibre icon would appear at the end of my taskbar after the pinned icons. Thus I knew from the taskbar whether I was running installed calibre or calibre portable.

But, now when I start calibre portable the pinned icon lights up so I can't tell which version is running. I have to open the calibre window to examine the status line to determine which version of calibre is behind the icon.

Can I do anything to stop calibre portable using the pinned icon, and instead, create its own icon in the customary position - at the end of the taskbar.

BR
