  \casesens Task Manager
  The Geneva Task Manager
  -----------------------
  
    The Task Manager allows you to load and \#terminate\# programs and desk
    accessories at any time. It also gives you access to all of Geneva's
    configurable options.
  
    The main window contains a list of all currently running applications,
    (including the Task Manager, itself). Desk accessories have a small dot
    before their names. If a name appears in italics, this means that it has
    been put "to \#sleep\#", and is not receiving events. If a name appears in
    small text, this means that it is a \#single-tasking\# process.
  
    A name in this list can be chosen with the mouse. Once a name is
    selected, you can use the \#Open\#, \#Temporary\#, \#Permanent\#,
    \#Asleep\#, and \#Terminate\# options to affect the task whose name has
    been chosen. Double-clicking on a name causes it to be opened
    immediately. Clicking anywhere in the list where there is not a name, or
    on a name which is already selected, will de-select the name.
  
    The main window can be "iconized" by clicking on the "delta" gadget.
    This shrinks any open windows to a single "icon" window. Double-clicking
    on the icon window's contents will reopen the Task Manager.

    If a name is selected in the main window, this option opens (makes
    active) the task. If no name is selected, then an item selector appears
    so that you can load a new task. Up to five tasks can be selected at one
    time by holding the Shift key while choosing the names in the item
    selector; the Task Manager will open them all at once.
  
    If a task which was started by the Task Manager terminates with an error
    status, the Task Manager will present you with an alert box describing
    the message.

  Flags
  -----
  
    Geneva maintains two types of execution flags, temporary and permanent.
    Permanent flags are what Geneva gives to a program when it is first
    started. Once a program has started, its temporary flags can be changed,
    but not saved permanently.
  
    The "Temporary" option is only available when the name of a task has been
    selected in the main list. Changes made in this mode are only valid
    while the task remains in memory; they cannot be saved permanently.
  
    The "Permanent" option changes the flags for any new instances of the
    task whose name matches the chosen name. It will NOT change the flags for
    a task that is already running.
  
    If you start by selecting a task's name from the main list and then
    choose "Permanent", then the permanent flags that Geneva would use for
    that application are displayed by default.
  
    In the "Permanent" mode, the entire list of flags can be edited. In this
    case, the "Name" field specifies the filename(s) (with optional wildcard
    characters * and ?) of the file(s) which will get the current flags when
    executed. For example, "*.TOS" will give all TOS programs the same flags.
  
    In Permanent mode, there is a "?" button which gives you an item
    selector which allows you to locate the exact filename of the
    application. Since Geneva does not keep track of the full path of the
    application, only its name, you will have to manually go to the path of
    the application each time this option is used.
  
    The "Description" field is mostly there for your reference. It should
    contain some useful information about the name or particular version of
    the program that the current flag is intended for. If an application
    does not provide its own name, and there is a "Description" for it, this
    text is used in the Desk menu application list.
  
    You can also add a "New" set of flags for an application, or delete the
    current set with the "Delete" button. The "Find" button will allow you to
    search for a particular program name.
  
    When you use the \#Save Settings\# option to rewrite Geneva's settings
    to disk, the entire list of program flags is sorted alphabetically. This
    means that the next time you look at the list in the Task Manager, it
    will be easier to find a particular program.
  
    Descriptions of program flags:

  \casesens Multitask
  Multitask flag
  --------------
  
    If this option is off, then the application will be the only program to
    have access to the menu bar or have windows open. While the program is
    running, you will still be able to use desk accessories, but not other
    programs. When the program quits, multitasking mode will resume. This
    option is provided to improve compatibility with older applications
    written before multitasking was possible.
  
  Related topics: \#Execution flags\#  \#What Flags to Change\#
  \end
  
  \casesens Limit window handles
  Limit window handles flag
  -------------------------
  
    Some older programs always count on windows being numbered one through
    seven, and never anything else. If this option is on, the application
    will only be able to open seven windows, and they will have the correct
    numbers (as far as the application is concerned).
  
  Related topics: \#Execution flags\#  \#What Flags to Change\#
  \end
  
  \casesens Limit memory
  Limit memory flag
  -----------------
  
    If this option is selected, the program will only be able to ask for a
    certain number of kilobytes of memory. Some programs take all of the
    system memory when they first run (like Tempus) and this option will
    prevent this from happening.
  
  Related topics: \#Execution flags\#  \#What Flags to Change\#
  \end
  
  \casesens Clear allocated memory
  Clear allocated memory flag
  ---------------------------
  
    If this option is selected, then any memory the program asks for after
    it has initially run will be cleared by Geneva before the program access
    it. This is necessary because some older programs assume that any memory
    they allocate will be completely cleared.
  
    Turning this option on can produce a noticeable decrease in speed.
    However, if your version of TOS allows programs to be Fast Loaded (i.e.:
    if you have TOS 1.4 or newer) then you can often increase program
    performance by setting both this program flag and the Fast Load attribute
    of the file.
  
  Related topics: \#Execution flags\#  \#What Flags to Change\#
  \end
  
  \casesens Maximize window areas
  Maximize window areas flag
  --------------------------
  
    Geneva can automatically make the working area of a window (the part
    inside the border) larger by not showing unused window gadgets. If this
    option is turned off, Geneva will act exactly like older versions of
    Atari's operating system.
  
  Related topics: \#Execution flags\#  \#What Flags to Change\#
  \end
  
  \casesens Optimize window redraws
  Optimize window redraws flag
  ----------------------------
  
    This option speeds up window redrawing. Because many programs will
    experience redraw problems when this option is on, it can be set
    individually for any program.
  
    Note that even when a program responds correctly to this method, it is
    still possible for there to be cosmetic redraw errors because of the way
    GEM works.
  
    For instance, if you move a window that is off the right edge of the
    screen 3 pixels to the left, the area that is redrawn will be in the
    correct pattern, but it will not match up with the rest of the window.
    The effect of this can be decreased by not using patterns in window
    gadgets.

  \end
  
  \casesens Windows off left edge
  Windows off left edge flag
  --------------------------
  
    If this option is off, you will not be able to drag windows belonging to
    the application off the left edge of the screen. Certain programs
    experience problems in redrawing when a window is off the left edge. The
    default state for this flag is off.
  
  Related topics: \#Execution flags\#  \#What Flags to Change\#
  \end
  
  \casesens Redraw upon exiting
  Redraw upon exiting
  -------------------
  
    When this flag is on, all windows belonging to all applications will
    be redrawn when the program quits. This is needed, because some older
    programs leave portions of their data on the screen when they exit.
  
    The default state for this flag is On.
  
  Related topics: \#Execution flags\#  \#What Flags to Change\#
  \end
  
  \casesens Special object types
  Special object types flag
  -------------------------
  
    If this option is off, none of the extended dialog object types (like the
    circular radio buttons in the Task Manager) will appear. This is helpful
    when you have a program which uses the extended object types for its own
    purpose. If you find checkboxes and circular radio buttons appearing
    where they shouldn't, try turning this option off.
  
  Related topics: \#Execution flags\#  \#What Flags to Change\#
  \end
  
  \casesens Rounded buttons
  Rounded buttons flag
  --------------------
  
    Normally, Geneva draws rounded buttons in dialogs. This option allows you
    to disable the feature for programs which do not look correct when it is
    active.
  
  Related topics: \#Execution flags\#  \#What Flags to Change\#
  \end
  
  \casesens Automatic keyboard equivs
  Automatic keyboard equivs flag
  ------------------------------
  
    When a program asks Geneva to handle a dialog, Geneva tries to assign
    keyboard equivalents to the exit buttons. Since some dialogs look odd
    with these small lines underneath the letters of the exit buttons, the
    option can be turned off.
  
  Related topics: \#Execution flags\#  \#What Flags to Change\#
  \end
  
  \casesens Undraw auto keyboard equivs
  Undraw auto keyboard equivs flag
  --------------------------------
  
    If the \#Automatic keyboard equivs\# option is on, and this one is off,
    the keyboard equivalent lines will not be undrawn every time Geneva
    returns control to the program. This is faster than having the option on,
    but can cause the dialog to look as though it has multiple keyboard
    equivalents in the same button.
  
  Related topics: \#Execution flags\#  \#What Flags to Change\#
  \end
  
  \casesens Keep menu bar/desktop
  Keep menu bar/desktop flag
  --------------------------
  
    Some programs routinely turn off the menu bar at various times when they
    are running. Since Geneva normally takes this as a cue to find another
    application which has a menu bar and make it active, this can cause the
    original application's windows to become untopped. Therefore, when this
    option is on, Geneva will not search for another application to give the
    menu bar to when the application gives up possession of the menu bar.
  
  Related topics: \#Execution flags\#  \#What Flags to Change\#
  \end
  
  \casesens AES 4.0 extended messages
  AES 4.0 extended messages flag
  ------------------------------
  
    If this option is off, the application will not receive any of the new
    messages defined by Atari for their AES version 4.0. Some old
    applications either use these same message numbers for their own purposes
    or they act strangely when one of them is received.
  
    Technically speaking, this blocks the following messages:  WM_UNTOPPED,
    WM_ONTOP, AP_TERM, AP_TFAIL, AP_RESCHG, SHUT_COMPLETED, RESCH_COMPLETED,
    AP_DRAGDROP, SH_WDRAW, CH_EXIT.

  \casesens Program Keys
  \casesens Keyboard settings
  \casesens Keys
  \casesens Activation key
  \casesens Reserve keys
  Keyboard settings for programs
  ------------------------------
  
    The "Keys" button in the \#Execution flags\# dialog will present you with
    a secondary dialog which allows you to configure some of the keystrokes
    used by the currently selected application:
  
      Activation key: When this key is pressed, the application will be made
        the active application. The application must already be in memory for
        this to occur.
  
      Reserve keys: Geneva can be told to ignore up to three keys for an
        application. When you press a key which is reserved, it will not be
        processed by Geneva, instead it will be processed by the application.
        This means that if, for instance, you have the Close Window gadget
        defined to be [Alternate][Esc], and you are running a program which
        uses this keystroke for its own purpose, you can tell Geneva to
        always send the [Alternate][Esc] to the application instead of trying
        to close a window.
  
    The "Clear" button will erase the current key. The dialog will show the
    string "???" to indicate that the key is undefined.

  \casesens What Flags to Change
  Determining What Flags to Change
  --------------------------------
  
    Reasons to turn \#Multitask\# Off:
  
    \x3 The program gives you a dialog which, when clicked on, causes windows
      underneath the dialog to "bleed through".
    \x3 A program puts up a dialog which will not accept mouse clicks when in
      multitasking mode.
    \x3 The program shows you something that, when clicked on, actually
      activates a window or an icon belonging to another application.
    \x3 When a program redraws its windows, it draws over any other windows
      which are open.
  
    Reasons to turn \#Limit window handles\# On:
  
    \x3 The program exhibits strange behavior (such as missing mouse clicks
      or improper redraws) when another application has one or more windows
      open.
    \x3 The program attempts to close windows which do not belong to it.
      This can be discovered by using GNVA_DB.PRG.
  
    Reasons to turn \#Maximize window areas\# Off:
  
    \x3 The program expects there to be an "empty" horizontal or vertical
      scroll bar. An example of this is WordPerfect, which displays
      information about the current text row/column in the bottom of the
      window.
    \x3 The bottom line of a program's window does not redraw correctly.
  
    Reasons to turn \#Optimize window redraws\# Off:
  
    \x3 The program's windows do not always redraw correctly when windows are
      topped, moved from being partially off the edge of the screen toward
      the middle of the screen, or when being resized.
  
    Reasons to turn \#Limit memory\# On:
  
    \x3 Once the application has run, you have very little free memory left.
  
    Reasons to turn \#Clear allocated memory\# On:
  
    \x3 The application normally needs to have it Fast Load attribute turned
      off. By turning \#Clear allocated memory\# on, fast loading can often
      be performed.
    \x3 The application acts oddly when it is run after running and quitting
      one or more other programs.
  
    Reasons to turn \#Redraw upon exiting\# On:
  
    \x3 When the program quits, it leaves portions of its display on the
      screen.
  
    Reasons to turn \#Special object types\# Off:
  
    \x3 Some of the program's dialogs or menus display 3D boxes, underlines,
      checkboxes, or rounded radio buttons in unexpected locations.
  
    Reasons to turn \#Automatic keyboard equivs\# Off:
  
    \x3 The underlines overlap portions of the text in the dialog's buttons,
      or they appear in undesirable locations.
  
    Reasons to turn \#Keep menu bar/desktop\# On:
  
    \x3 The program's windows become "untopped", and Geneva switches to
      another primary application, whenever you use a certain feature.
    \x3 The program's desktop switches rapidly on and off whenever you use a
      certain feature.
  
    Reasons to turn \#AES 4.0 extended messages\# Off:
  
    \x3 The program does unexpected things when either its window is no
      longer topped, or one of its windows is becoming topped. Try the
      \#Limit window handles\# option, also.
    \x3 The program does unexpected things when a child program that it
      launched has terminated.

  Asleep
  ------
  
    This menu entry shows the state of the application whose name is
    currently selected in the main window. If the name is preceded by a
    checkmark, then the application is "asleep", meaning that all of its
    windows are closed and it cannot receive any GEM events.
  
    You can click on this option to put an application to sleep or wake it
    up.

  \casesens Terminate
  Terminate
  ---------
  
    This option will terminate the selected application in the main window,
    closing all of its windows and freeing all memory it uses.
  
    Atari has established a standard method of communicating to a task the
    fact that it is being shut down. If you attempt to terminate an old task
    which does not understand this message, Geneva will warn you and give you
    a chance to cancel the termination.
  
    Terminating a task which does not understand this message will cause any
    unsaved work to be lost and may also cause future system crashes or other
    odd behavior, depending on the task.

  Keyboard equivalents
  --------------------
  
    This dialog allows you to configure the keyboard equivalents used by
    Geneva. In it, you have a choice of either selecting a window gadget to
    change its keyboard equivalent, or one of the Other Keys.
  
    The box in the lower part of the dialog shows what key combination is
    assigned to that function. The Control, Shift, and Alt boxes can be
    checked with the mouse. You can also set the key by clicking on the
    "Read Key" button. While the Task Manager is waiting for you to press a
    key, you will not be able to perform any operations in other windows or
    the menu bar.
  
    When you have finished re-assigning the keyboard equivalents, you can
    close the dialog by pressing the Quit button. The close button in the
    upper left corner of the window will not close the dialog.
  
    There are also three other keyboard equivalents which are not immediately
    apparent:
  
    \x3 Iconify, the delta gadget to the left of the Cycle gadget.
    \x3 Iconify All, chosen by holding the Control key while clicking on the
      Iconify gadget.

  Window/Menu bar
  ---------------
  
    This dialog allows you to control the \#font\# which Geneva uses in its menu
    bar and any dialogs displyed by programs. It also lets you affect how
    wide and high the window gadgets are.
  
    When Geneva first runs, it checks to see if the font ID saved in
    GENEVA.CNF is anything other than 1 (for a system font). If so, and GDOS
    is present, it loads all available fonts, and uses the correct font. If
    the particular font is not available, it reverts to the system font.
  
    Regardless of whether or not the font is available, the closest point
    size to the one you choose is used.
  
    The window gadgets will have a width which is equal to the width of one
    character in the font, plus the width value you choose in the Windows
    dialog. A similar calculation is used for the gadget height.
  
    The "Menu separator style" option controls how disabled menu entries in
    dropdown menus appear. The first option gives no change; the second uses
    a solid gray line, and the remaining styles are solid, colored lines.
    These latter styles are only used when the video display can show at
    least 16 colors at once.
  
    Please note that in order for the changes you make to the font or gadget
    borders to have any effect, you must \#Save Settings\# and then restart
    Geneva. Changes to the separator style are immediate.

  Window and Dialog Fonts
  -----------------------
  
    The Window/Menu Font dialog accepts any Speedo GDOS font, and any other
    monospaced GDOS (bitmapped or scalable) font which has all 255
    characters. This font is used when drawing menu bars, windows and
    dialogs. There are a few restrictions, though:
  
    \x3 If you use Speedo GDOS, it must be version 4.11 or newer.
    \x3 When using a Speedo font, Geneva attempts to remap the characters
      used in window gadgets (like the Full box, the Close box, etc.) While
      this remapping does work with most Speedo fonts, some fonts (like the
      Monospace 821 font) do not have the characters in the right locations
      for this translation, and incorrect characters will appear in the
      gadgets when they are drawn. This is unavoidable.
    \x3 Some versions of Speedo GDOS do not do a very good job of supporting
      the italics and bold special effects which are found in some of
      Geneva's dialogs.

  \casesens Dialog preferences
  Dialog preferences
  ------------------
  
    This dialog allows you to set the way in which various components of
    other dialogs are displayed.
  
    Geneva allows you to have separate appearances for several types of
    objects contained within dialogs. If a program uses a special attribute
    type defined by Geneva, then the appearance will change for all of the
    objects in all of the program's dialogs at once, thus allowing you to
    customize a program to your own preference.
  
    The "Type" box contains a list of the four different types of objects
    that can be assigned these special attributes. The "Sample" shows you one
    object of each of these types, so that you can gauge how they will look
    in actual dialogs.
  
    Each type of object can have several different attributes:
  
      Border
      \x3 AES 4 3D: a three-dimensional effect, compatible with Atari's AES
        version 4. In this mode, the text color, fill color, and fill pattern
        are modified by BCOLORS.CPX, not the Task Manager. For the Box
        object, you will probably also want to select the Outline option. In
        this mode, Any text in the object will "move" when it is selected.
      \x3 3D: the original Geneva-style three-dimensional effect. The text of
        the object will "move" when it is selected.
      \x3 Outline: produces a line around the outside of the object.
      \x3 Shadow: a shadow on the lower-right edge of the object.
      \x3 Round: the corners of the outer edge are rounded, instead of square.
        Note that if Outline is also used, the thick part of the object's
        border is moved to the outside.
      \x3 Color: the left and right arrows will cycle through the available
        colors, and clicking on the color sample will produce a popup menu of
        colors.
  
      Text
      \x3 Shadowed: the text has a shadow behind it. The shadow's color is the
        text color chosen below. The text itself is always drawn in either
        black or white.
      \x3 Bold: bold text. This can even be combined with the Shadowed effect.
      \x3 Opaque: affects how text is drawn. When this flag is set, the area
        around the actual dots that make up a character of text are left
        white. Otherwise, the fill pattern of the object will show through.
  
      Fill
      \x3 Pattern: this is a pop-up menu which lets you choose from any of
        the eight pre-defined fill patterns. You can also move from one to
        the next by clicking on the left or right arrow buttons.
      \x3 Color: this is a pop-up menu with all of the colors available in the
        resolution you are currently using. (Some colors will be black if the
        current screen resolution does not support at least 16 colors at
        once.) You can use this option to define what color is used when
        drawing the fill pattern of the currently selected object.
  
    The text attributes of the menu bar cannot be changed. Menu text is
    always black and transparent. Note that any changes you make in this
    dialog do not take effect until you select the "Ok" button.

  Window gadget colors
  --------------------
  
    Geneva provides more window gadgets than GEM normally does, so this
    dialog gives you control over the colors and fill patterns of all of
    them.
  
    To select a gadget to modify, click on the gadget with the mouse. An
    outline will appear around the gadget you have chosen. Its attributes can
    then be changed.
  
    The options for text, border, and fill color are here, just like in the
    \#Dialog Colors\# dialog. You also have a few more choices:
  
    \x3 The 3D button turns on/off the raised appearance of the gadget.
    \x3 The Shadowed button in the Text section turns on or off a shadow
      behind the text. The shadow's color is the text color chosen below.
      The text itself is always drawn in either black or white.
    \x3 The Topped button will toggle between editing the attributes for a
      window which is on top or elsewhere in the stack.
  
    Note that the Shadowed and 3D buttons affect the window gadget for both
    its topped and untopped appearance.
  
    To copy one gadget's attributes to another, click and hold the mouse
    button down on a gadget and drag the resulting gray outline to another
    gadget in the window.
  
    Clicking on the mover bar of this window will only select that gadget or
    copy its attributes to another gadget. However, the window can be moved
    by clicking on any of the white areas within the window.
  
    This window's appearance does not change when you make another window
    topmost. The text attributes of the menu bar cannot be changed. Menu text
    is always black and transparent.
  
    When Geneva's settings are saved, using the \#Save Settings\# option,
    the window colors are also saved. If you use another program like
    WCOLORS.CPX, then the settings in that program will override the ones you
    have set in this dialog.

  Miscellaneous options
  ---------------------
  
    \x3 Pulldown menus: if this option is checked, you must first click on a
      word in the menu bar before a menu will pull down.
  
    \x3 Tear away menus always active: When this option is checked, the items
      in new tear away menu windows which are opened will be selectable with
      just the left mouse button, even when the tear away window is not
      topmost. In this mode, a tear-away menu window can be "topped" by
      clicking once on its name bar.
  
    \x3 Top all windows when switching: When this is checked, every time
      a different application's window becomes topmost, all of its windows
      are brought to the front at the same time. Without this option, only
      the one window chosen will be topped.
  
    \x3 Dialog cursor insert mode: When this option is checked, the cursor in
      editable fields within dialog boxes will operate in Insert mode, which
      is to say that any characters you type are inserted at the current
      cursor position. When the cursor is in overwrite mode, characters are
      overwritten as you type. This option can also be changed by using the
      Insert key when editing a text field in a dialog.
  
    \x3 Long dialog title underlines: When a dialog takes advantage of the
      special object type that Geneva provides for creating titles with a
      underline, this option controls whether the line goes completely
      across the width of the dialog or if it is just underneath the words
      which make up the title.
  
    \x3 Alerts follow mouse: When active, this option causes alert boxes t
      appear as close to the current mouse position as possible. If this
      option is off, alerts will appear centered in the middle of the screen.
  
    \x3 1 column in item selector: This option controls whether or not
      Geneva's Item Selector uses separate lists for files and folders.
  
    \x3 Grow/shrink boxes: Many programs use a flourish when opening windows
      or dialog boxes. Since some people find them distracting and time-
      consuming, Geneva allows you to disable them.
  
    \x3 Automatic shell window updates: If the shell program (like NeoDesk
      3.04) understands the special message type meaning "update drives with
      this letter", then Geneva can automatically determine when the contents
      of a disk drive have changed and inform the shell so that it can update
      its windows.
  
    \x3 Alert \#multitask\# mode changes: If this option is on, then whenever
      one or more applications is about to be put to \#sleep\# because you
      are switching into or out of single-tasking mode, you will get an alert
      from Geneva warning you of this fact.
  
    \x3 Video from NEWDESK/DESKTOP.INF: When this option is on, Geneva will
      attempt to read the \#Video mode\# (screen resolution) settings from
      either a DESKTOP.INF or NEWDESK.INF file. If this option is off, the
      video mode information contained in \#GENEVA.CNF\# (saved by
      \#Save Settings\#) is used.
  
    \x3 Preserve system colors: Prevents applications which alter the color
      palette from affecting other applications.
  
      As you switch out of an application which changed the colors, they will
      be reset to what they were the last time the new application had
      control. Many paint programs will benefit from this option. Also,
      any time an alert or Geneva's item selector is opened, the system
      colors are returned to those of the Geneva Manager menu. This gives a
      more readable item selector in programs like Calamus SL which change
      the system color palette.
  
      Note that it if you have this option set, you cannot change the colors
      for all applications by using things like a control panel!  As soon as
      you change to another application, the colors will revert to what they
      were previously. Turn this option off before using the control panel.
  
      Furthermore, in order for the system colors that are used by default to
      be changed, Geneva essentially ignores this flag until all desk
      accessories are loaded. This way, if one of them (like a control panel)
      changes the settings, all applications will get the new colors by
      default. Once all of the desk accessories have loaded, "Preserve system
      colors" takes effect.
  
    \x3 Preserve mouse on/off: Keeps track of how many times a program makes
      the mouse pointer visible/invisible, and automatically restores the
      mouse to the correct state when you switch between applications,
      similar to the way to the "Preserve system colors" option works.
  
    \x3 Any dialog without editable fields can respond to just the keyboard
      equivalents, without Alternate being held. The "Not in window" option
      affects this feature for dialogs and alerts that are not contained in a
      window.
  
      The "In window" option affects this feature for for dialogs that are
      drawn by Geneva and appear in a moveable window, like all of the Task
      Manager's dialogs. Some programs generate their own windowed dialogs
      and will not be affected by this option. By default, this option is
      turned off for dialogs in windows.
  
    \x3 Window gadget repeat delay: This editable field contains the number of
      milliseconds that will elapse between the time you first click on a
      window gadget which repeats (like the up scroll gadget) and the next
      time the window will scroll. This gives you time to release the mouse
      button before the window automatically scrolls again. The default value
      is 300 milliseconds.

  Save Positions
  --------------
  
    This option will cause the Task Manager to save all of its configuration
    options in a file called GENEVA.CNF. Whenever you load the Task Manager,
    it automatically reads these settings.
  
    Currently, the Task Manager saves all of the positions of its dialogs
    and also the main window. If you Save Positions in a high resolution
    screen and then run the Task Manager in a lower resolution, you may
    notice that one or more of the dialogs appear partially off the right or
    bottom edge of the screen.
