Re-enable the Smooth Gliding Taskbar

SUMMARY: Smooth the graphics display of Windows 95's taskbar AutoHide feature.

Do you have Microsoft Plus! Installed? Or, are you using OSR2? If so, do you have your taskbar set to Auto-Hide? If so, you may have had your taskbar glide on and off the screen. If this feature has stopped, you need to do the following to re-enable the smooth gliding.

Right-click the desktop, choosing "Properties" from the pop-up menu that appears. On the multi-tabbed dialog box that appears, choose "Plus!" Now, check "Show Window Contents While Dragging" and click "OK" to close the dialog box. Note that this affects all windows.
