Hello everyone.  I've just installed v28 (28.0.1.0) for Windows.  After running a simple syntax file to check things out, I noticed that the popup from the Windows taskbar at the bottom of the screen was showing a "phantom" dataset, for want of a better term.  After running the syntax a few more times (4 times in total), Windows was showing 4 phantom datasets, as in this image:



It then occurred to me to click on the Windows menu within SPSS, and it did not show any phantom datasets.  All I saw listed there was the 3 files I expected to see:



Has anyone else using v28 for Windows seen these phantom datasets in the taskbar popup?  Does anyone know now to prevent this from happening?  

Cheers,
Bruce

PS- Just before clicking Post, I executed the syntax 4 more times (8 times in total), and now see 7 phantom datasets in the taskbar popup.  Meanwhile, clicking on Windows within SPSS still shows only the syntax window, the data window and the output window.
