Task Pro Version 1.20 - Important Notes
---------------------------------------

Configuring Buttons
-------------------
To configure the Quick Launch Buttons(the buttons along
the bottom of Task Pro), use the right mouse button.
The left mouse button launches the configured application.

Quick Launch Drop-Down
----------------------
The Quick Launch Drop-Down searches your application list
as you type and attempts to match your typing to one of 
your Quick Launch Keys. As soon as there is one and only
one matching key the application is launched. You may also 
press <Enter> to launch as soon as the app you are looking 
for becomes visible in the 3D region above the drop-down.

Expanded/Contracted View Modes
------------------------------
Upon installation Task Pro will start up in the expanded
view mode. This mode may be a bit cumbersome for full time
use.  To contract Task Pro, hiding the Task List and Utility
buttons, simply press the "Less<<" button in the Function Bar.

Task Pro Configuration
----------------------
Unlike many "full-featured" Task Manager type applications, 
Task Pro is intelligient about the way it handles activation 
and deactivation.  Instead of starting and restarting every 
time you invoke the Task Manager, Task Pro waits in the 
background for activation and simply shows itself when you 
invoke it, and hides itself when another application is 
activated.  This solves the annoying pause you sometimes 
experience with other Task Manager type applications as you 
wait for them to startup.  If you find you need to unload 
Task Pro at some point, simply press the "Unload Task Pro" 
button and Task Pro will be unloaded from memory.

Task Pro Setup
--------------
The setup program for Task Pro will configure everything for 
you when you install the software.  However, the following
information is provided in case you wish to change your
configuration, or are curious about the different run modes.

Running Task Pro as the Task Manager
------------------------------------
Task Pro can easily replace the Task Manager, allowing you
to bring it up by pressing <Ctrl-Esc>. The following
steps are required to install Task Pro as the Task Manager.
(Again, these steps are all done for you by the setup program.)

1. Modify the SYSTEM.INI.  The line "taskman.exe=
<PATH>TASKPRO.EXE" will be need to be added or modified where 
<PATH> is the full path into which you installed Task Pro.

2. In the Task Pro Settings dialog box, the box "Hide on
deactivate" will need to be checked.  When Task Pro is installed
as the Task Manager, it will need to hide itself when another
application gets focus.  The standard Windows Task Manager
exits and restarts each time you invoke it. However, to improve
performance Task Pro simply hides and shows itself.

3. To speed initial loading, Task Pro should be added to the
StartUp group.  The command line for Task Pro should include the
argument "/s".  This tells Task Pro not to show itself, but
instead, simply load and wait to be invoked.

Running Task Pro as a stand-alone utility
-----------------------------------------
Task Pro can also be used as a standard utility application. 
Only one step is required to configure Task Pro for stand-alone
operation.(Again, this is done for you by the setup program.)

1. In the Task Pro Settings dialog box, the box "Hide on
deactivate" will need to be unchecked.  When this box is
unchecked, Task Pro will behave as a normal application and will
not show or hide itself based on activation/deactivation.
