I like the idea of your software, but I am unable to use it. When I try to close certain applications like iconpackager form stardock, I get the 0eedfade exception. This happens with some other software occasionally as well. When Badges is uninstalled, no exceptions.
 Perhaps you can take a look into this exception. I don't do windows coding, so I don't know what this exception pertains to.

Usualy this error may occure on early version of Windows, do you was have at minimum Windows 2000 or Windows Xp ?

I am running Windows XP with SP2 (Tablet Edition). It seems to be a quite common error. I realize it may not be your program that is causing the error, but whatever the issue is, Badges is at least the piece that sets it off. Certain programs throw this exception when your program is installed. The exception error causes the programs to hang in the background refusing to release the memory they are holding after their window closes. All of this goes away the second I uninstall badges. Weird huh?
