Right-clicking app's taskbar button = Debugger?

When I right-click the taskbar button of one of my PureBasic apps that is running from the IDE, I see its name above the "Pin to taskbar" item, and if I select the name, a new console window opens called "PureBasic Console Debugger (press Ctrl+C to stop program)", even though my app isn't of console type. Is this normal? I've never noticed it before.

This is not normal and is an error in the windows settings. Maybe a reference to another programme has been assigned.

This happens with zero reference to any other app in the PureBasic settings. It happens with a new code compile that hasn't even been saved yet, such as this code when run fresh from the IDE, with a clean default PureBasic install.
Code: Select all
OpenWindow(0,400,200,640,240,"test",#PB_Window_SystemMenu)
Repeat
ev=WaitWindowEvent()
Until ev=#PB_Event_CloseWindow
Right-clicking its window button in the taskbar shows this:
It shows the name of another of my PureBasic apps for some reason? I even tried deleting the thumbnail cache folder of Windows (the OS) and killed explorer.exe, as mentioned here ->
viewtopic.php?t=80615
But it didn't help. To be 100% sure, I even deleted the other app's folder so it doesn't exist, yet that app's name still appears in the right-click menu of this new app. Very strange!

Search the registry for the other purebasic app (regedit). Maybe something is entered there.
And search for purebasic.exe
regedit:
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\PureBasic.exe\shell\open\command
can be
"C:\WinAPP\PureBasic-v6.00x64\PureBasic.exe" "%1" /P "C:\Users\Michael\AppData\Roaming\PureBasic\PureBasic.prefs" /T "C:\Users\Michael\AppData\Roaming\PureBasic\Templates.prefs" /A "C:\Users\Michael\AppData\Roaming\PureBasic\Tools.prefs" /H "C:\Users\Michael\AppData\Roaming\PureBasic\History.db"
