Help Color
Help Colors

See Also     Dialog Box settings

This dialog box allows you to change the colors used by the Windows online help system. You may want to change the default colors if you find them difficult to read on your particular system. For example, the light green color used to identify jumps may be difficult to see on a monochrome system such as a laptop.

JumpColor:	Identifies text which, when clicked, jumps to or takes you to a related topic. The default color is bright green.
PopupColor:	Identifies text which, when clicked, opens a popup window over the current topic; these are usually used for items such as glossary entries. The default color is bright green.
MacroColor:	Identifies text which, when clicked, runs macros built into the help file by the developer. The default color is bright green.
Inter-file Jump:	Identifies text which, when clicked, causes a jump to another topic in another help file. The default color is yellow.
Inter-file Popup:	Identifies text which, when clicked, displays a popup window from another help file. The default color is light blue.

Inter-file links indicate connections to a separate .HLP file.

To change the color for a setting in the Help Text Colors box:

♦	Double-click the appropriate entry.


Help Colors dialog box

Change button

Default button


Change button
The Change button lets you select a color for the current Help statement type. Selecting Change is equivalent to double-clicking on the example in the Help Text Colors box. A Color dialog box allows you to select from the current colors for your video driver, or create a custom color.


Default button
The Default button returns all the statement types in the Help Text Colors box to their default:

Jumps, Popups, and Macros are displayed in bright green, Inter-file Jumps are displayed in yellow, and Inter-file Popups are displayed in light blue.


Advanced Communication
Advanced Communications

See Also     Dialog Box setting

The Advanced Communications dialog box lets you change the settings for your COM: ports. These settings should be configured to match the peripheral that is attached to the port.

For example, if you have a 19.2K modem attached to COM1:, you should adjust the Port Settings to reflect the speed of the modem. You might also need to adjust the settings to match your printer, scanner, or other device. If a modem is attached to the port, these settings determine the default for communications through that modem. Most communications software allows you to override these defaults when you call a service which uses different settings.


Advanced Communications dialog box

Port Settings

Default


Port Settings box
The Port Settings box present drop-down lists for each setting. Click the prompt button to select from a list of choices for each option:

Baud Rate:	The speed at which Windows attempts to communicate through the port.
Data Bits:	The number of bits within each byte which actually contain data. This is usually 8 if there is no parity, or 7 if there is.
Parity:	Determines whether 1 bit is used to verify the accuracy of transmitted data, and the method for determining that accuracy.
Stop Bits:	The number of stop bits used to signal the end of a byte of data.


Default button
The Default button returns all the Port Settings to 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit.


Advanced Desktop

See Also     Dialog Box settings

The Advanced Desktop dialog box lets you configure settings for the appearance of your desktop. These settings determine how closely minimized icons align themselves when you choose Arrange Icons from the Window menu in Program Manager or Norton Desktop. You can also configure Windows to right-justify menu choices.

Icon Spacing
The Icon Spacing group box displays an example of how your icons will align when you choose Arrange Icons from the Window menu in Program Manager or Norton Desktop. You can drag the lower left icon in the Icon Spacing box to adjust the vertical and horizontal spacing between icons. The settings INI Tuner makes in your WIN.INI file are reflected in the Icon Style box to the right.


Word Wrap Icon Titles
This setting determines whether Windows wraps a long title across multiple lines (up to 3 lines). If the check box is not checked, Windows places the entire title on one line.


Right Menu Drop Alignment
Check the Right Menu Drop Alignment check box to right-justify the items on your menus. The default is to left-justify menu items.


Font
The Font button opens a dialog box which lets you specify the font that appears beneath your icons. You can change the typeface, the size, and the style of the font. Some shells do not support the Font settings for text beneath icons.


Default
The default button returns Windows to the following settings:

Horizontal spacing:	77 pixels
Vertical spacing:	determined by display and fonts in use
Font:	MS Sans Serif 8 point Normal
Icon Titles:	Wrapped
Menu alignment:	Left


Advanced Other
DOS Box and Other

See Also     Dialog Box settings

This dialog box lets you configure several defaults for the way Windows handles DOS sessions, as well as the shell that you use with Windows. You can access several settings that affect the appearance of DOS programs, such as the number of lines displayed per screen and whether you can change fonts within a Windows DOS session.

Shell Program Name
Lets you change the shell that runs when you start Windows. This is usually Program Manager (progman.exe) or Norton Desktop. You may specify a different program as your shell, such as File Manager, or enter the name of a specific Windows application if that is the only Windows program that you run.


DOS Prompt Exit Instructions
This check box determines whether Windows displays the message instructing you how to switch away from or end a DOS session each time you run one. Uncheck the check box to prevent the message from being displayed.


Local TSRs
If the TSRs listed in this entry are in memory, a separate instance is copied to each DOS session you run. Many TSRs do not work properly in this fashion; you should check with the manufacturer to be sure that the TSR you are using is compatible with this setting.


Command Environment Size
This setting determines the size of the environment for the DOS sessions that you run. If you are using a large number of environment variables or a very long path, you may need to increase this setting. If you are running a DOS session under Windows and receive the message "Out of environment space," try increasing this setting. A setting of 0 instructs Windows to use the value specified in the /E: switch of the SHELL= line in your CONFIG.SYS..


Screen Lines
Determines the number of lines displayed per screen for DOS sessions under Windows. Most VGA cards support either 43-line or 50-line modes which allow you to see more information per screen. Some programs do not properly handle these screen modes, but DOS itself will.


Mouse In DOS Box
Determines whether Windows turns control of the mouse over to a DOS application running in a windowed DOS session. If this box is checked, you can use the mouse to access the program's menus and options. If the box is unchecked, you can only use the mouse to highlight text for cutting and pasting, and for accessing the application's Control menu.


Disable Position Save
Determines whether the location of a windowed DOS session and the fonts in use are saved when you exit the application. This setting can be overridden for an individual application using the Save Settings On Exit option in the Fonts dialog box located in the application's Control menu.


Font Change
Determines whether you can change the fonts for a windowed DOS program. By default, Windows lets you choose from a variety of font sizes; unchecking this check box disables that ability.


Default
Returns all the settings to their defaults:

Shell:	progman.exe
DOS Prompt Exit Instructions:	Enabled
Local TSRs:	dosedit,ced
Command Environment Size:	0
Screen Lines:	25
Mouse in DOS Box:	Enabled
Disable Position Save:	Disabled
Font Change:	Enabled.

Program Manager Restrictions

See Also     Dialog Box settings

The Program Manager Restrictions dialog box lets you limit the changes a user can make to the Windows setup. You can prevent someone from exiting Windows, running programs that don't have an icon, or changing the icons in a group. You may want to use these settings on a system that is shared by multiple users, or that is placed in a public place such as in a kiosk.

Disable Run Command on File Menu
Prevents the user from running programs using the Run command on the File menu in Program Manager or File Manager. The setting does not work with Norton Desktop since you can remove the Run command from the File and Control menu altogether. You should also disable the ability to launch programs from drive windows.


Disable Exit Windows Command on File Menu
Prevents the user from exiting Windows by choosing Exit from the File menu or using Alt+F4. This setting does not work with Norton Desktop. Add the entry NoClose=1 to the [Restrictions] section of NDW.INI instead.


Disable Save Settings Command
Disables the Save Settings On Exit box in Program Manager's Options menu. This setting does not work with Norton Desktop because you can remove the Save Configuration menu choice altogether.


Remove File Menu from Progman
Removes the File menu from Program Manager altogether. To prevent a user from exiting Windows using Alt+F4, you should also select Disable Exit Windows Command. This setting does not work with Norton Desktop because you can remove the File menu through the normal menu editing process.


Edit Level on Program Groups
Determines the extent to which the user can modify the icons in your Program Manager groups. This setting does not work with Norton Desktop because you can put a password on the icon's Properties. The settings are as follows:

0	All modifications are allowed.
1	Groups cannot be created, deleted, or renamed, but icons within existing groups can
2	Level 1, but icons cannot be added or deleted. Modifications are allowed to existing icons.
3	Level 2, but the program that an icon runs cannot be changed. The icon and other properties can.
4	Level 3, but no modifications to icons are allowed.


Default
Turns off all restrictions.
