[comp.windows.ms] Windows3.0 changes graphics modes

There's a strange thing that has been happening when I run programs 
that I have written for Windows 3.0 with the new SDK and C 6.0.
I like running outside of Windows in special video modes that 
provide text at 132 by 50.  When I enter Windows, run my program,
and exit, Windows switches back to the default VGA mode (mode 3, I think).
I've also noticed that the programs that come with Windows do not 
have this effect on the video mode.  Does anyone have any suggestions?
