TaskView README file
Version 2.0
**************************************************************
Version 2.0 New Features and Enhancements:
* Auto Minimize/Restore - TaskView can automatically
minimize when not in use and will automatically
restore when touched with the cursor. This will help
increase desktop space.
* Horizontal/Vertical Positions - TaskView can be
displayed horizontally or vertically on the desktop.
* Preloaded Applications - Applications can be added to
the taskbar and be launched then switched to. Taskview
is able to display only the preloaded apps and can be
used just as a launch bar.
* 3D Appearance - The taskbar has been visually redesigned
to give a 3D look.
* Caption Strip - Taskview changes into a small strip that
neatly fits into the caption bar of a maximized app (like the
one used in MS Office).
* ToolTips - TaskView will display the name of the
task when the cursor is over the appropriate button,
similar to Microsoft Office applications.
* Currently Running Lights - TaskView can display a
light on each button that will tell if a Preloaded
App is running.
* Context Sensitive Menus - When the middle mouse button
is clicked over a button on the taskbar a menu will
appear with selections giving you control of that task.
* AutoShape - Taskview will automatically adjust its
shape and size to make sure all tasks fit within
the desktop space.
* File Utilities - Taskview has a File Finder, a
Run/Browse utility and a Task Operations utility.
The File Finder lets you find files and
delete/copy/move them. The Task Operations utility
lets you control the desktop and its current windows.
* Redesigned Options dialog - A tabbed dialog box allows
fast and easy access to TaskViews options.
**************************************************************
If you have an aversion to Install programs, you can
manually install TaskView by doing the following:
Note: ONLY DO THIS IF YOU ARE MANUALLY
INSTALLING. IF YOU WANT THE INSTALLER
TO DO THE WORK, THEN PRESS THE CONTINUE
BUTTON AND SIT BACK.
1. Press the Continue button to close this readme file.
2. At this point the installation process will begin.
3. Press the Cancel button to stop it and go to DOS
(or use the File Manager to perform the equivalent steps
described below).
4. Make a TaskView directory (call it what you want).
5. Copy TASKVIEW.EXE and TASKVIEW.HLP to the above
directory.
6. Copy the Library Files (*.DLL) to \WINDOWS\SYSTEM
directory.
If any of these instuctions don't make sense, then use the
Install program to do it for you.
Again thank you for your support, and feel free to contact
