Task Pro Version 2.00 - Important Notes
---------------------------------------

VISA/MasterCard registration now available!
-------------------------------------------
You can now register Task Pro with your Visa or MasterCard
via telephone, FAX, or e-mail. Of course, you can still
register online on CompuServe, and by check or money order.
For complete information, see the registration section of the 
Task Help file.

Hidden Windows
--------------
When using the "Hide" context button when in Window View, it is 
important to remember that unless you have configured Task Pro 
to display hidden windows, when you hide a window it will no longer 
be displayed in the Window View.  To display the window, and be able 
to "Show" it again you will need to enable the "Show hidden windows 
in Window View" option in the Settings dialog.

New Context buttons in Function Bar
-----------------------------------
The new context buttons in the Function Bar give you greater
control of your system.  For example, you can now show, hide, 
minimize, restore, or obtain information on a selected window. 

What's New?
-----------
The version 2.0 update to Task Pro is a huge upgrade to the
product. For those of you that are familiar with previous 
versions of Task Pro be sure to check out the What's New 
section of the Task Pro Help file. It provides an overview 
of some of the major feature additions and enhancements.

Configuration Wizard
--------------------
The Configuration Wizard makes configuring Task Pro in any
environment a snap. To use the Configuration Wizard after 
installation, just press the Configure button.

New Listbox features
--------------------
The column listbox control that has been used throughout 
Task Pro has some great features.  You can size the columns 
by dragging the column marker.  You can sort the list by a 
column by clicking on the column header.  You can also toggle 
ascending or descending sort by double-clicking on the column 
header. All of these size and sort settings will be saved 
from session to session.

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 Key Search
----------------------
The Quick Launch Key Search searches your object list
as you type and attempts to match your typing to one of 
your Quick Launch Keys. As soon as a unique key has been 
built the application or document is launched. You may also 
press <Enter> to launch as soon as the item you are looking 
for becomes visible in the region above the edit field.

Task Pro Configuration
----------------------
The Configuration Wizard will configure everything for you.  
However, the following information is provided in case you are 
curious about the different configuration options.

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 Configuration
Wizard.)

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 Deactivation Action
will have to be set to either "Hide" on "Minimize".  When Task 
Pro is installed as the Task Manager, it will need to hide or 
minimize itself when another application gets focus.  The standard 
Windows Task Manager exits and restarts each time you invoke it. 
However, Task Pro uses intelligient activation/deactivation 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 Configuration
Wizard.)

1. In the Task Pro Settings dialog box, the Deactivation Action
should be set to "None". Task Pro will behave as a normal 
application and will not hide or minimize itself based on 
activation/deactivation.
