************************************************************** 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. * 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.
