The information in this article applies to:
 
 - Microsoft Money version 1.0, 2.0, 2.0a, 3.00, and 3.0a
 - Microsoft Windows 95
-------------------------------------------------------------------
 
SYMPTOMS
========
 
When Money opens in Windows 95, the icons for minimized windows, such as
the Account Book or Future Transactions, appear as a series of overlapping
bars that snap to the right edge of the screen. If you try to reorganize
the icons, they snap back when you try to move the last icon.
 
RESOLUTION
==========
 
As long as no window or icon touches the right or left edge of the main
Money window, the icons stay where you have organized them. To arrange your
Money windows so that they do not touch the right or left sides, use the
following steps.
 
NOTE: This procedure only works if your display is set at a higher
resolution than 640x480. Refer to your Windows 95 help for information
about changing your display resolution. Not all graphics cards will support
higher resolutions. Consult your graphics card manufacturer for details.
 
1. Increase the size of the main Money window by dragging the right
   side past the end of the icons. All of the icons should be within
   the borders of the main Money window.
 
2. If Money windows are open, move the current open window
   so that it does not touch either edge of the main Money window.
 
3. Minimize that window, and then restore, not maximize, the next icon.
 
4. Repeat the positioning and minimizing for each of the icons.
 
5. Organize the icons.
 
6. Restore the window you want to use.
 
NOTE: Once Money is minimized or closed, the icons snap back to their
previous positions. You can organize them again, but their positions can
not be permanently fixed.
