 - Microsoft Windows 95 Preview Program

SYMPTOMS
========
 
The MS-DOS button on the taskbar appears distorted or partially indented
if you drag an icon from the desktop and hold it over the MS-DOS button
until the MS-DOS session opens, then return to the Windows 95 desktop.
This problem occurs only if the MS-DOS button represents a full-screen
MS-DOS session.
 
CAUSE
=====
 
The Windows shell is not notified that a change has occurred when you
release the mouse button after the full-screen MS-DOS session is
displayed. When you minimize the MS-DOS session, the shell is unsure of
the current state of the program and displays the taskbar button
incorrectly.
 
RESOLUTION
==========
 
Click the taskbar button to re-open the MS-DOS session, then press
ALT+TAB to return to the desktop.
 
STATUS
======
 
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Windows 95. We
are researching this problem and will post new information here in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
