APPLIES TO
This article was previously published under Q126411
SYMPTOMS
When you exit a screen saver that is included with Microsoft Windows 95,
the full-screen MS-DOS window is not restored. Instead, the MS-DOS window
is minimized to a button on the taskbar.
CAUSE
Windows 95 is not designed to restore MS-DOS windows to full-screen mode.
WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, run the MS-DOS-based application in a window
or click the application's button on the taskbar.
MORE INFORMATION
This behavior also occurs for other Windows-based applications. For
example, type "start wordpad" (without quotation marks) in a full-screen MS-
DOS window. When WordPad starts, the MS-DOS window is minimized. When you
quit WordPad, the MS-DOS window remains minimized.
