MAKING THE TASKBAR MORE VERBOSE
If you have enough memory, you can probably start up a
half dozen or more programs at once under Windows. The
new task bar makes it quite easy to switch between these
different programs because all you have to do is move
your mouse pointer to the proper location on the task bar
and click to move instantly to another program. But
you've got only a small space (80 characters across the
screen) to display the names of the different programs
you're running all at once. Often Windows has to shorten
the full name of the program running. Can you get the
full name? Yes, just move the mouse pointer to the
partial name displayed on the taskbar, let it rest there
for a second or two, and up will pop a "tools
tip" (a la MicroSoft Word for Windows) that contains
the entire name.
