CTRL+ESC does not display Windows 3.1x task list due to function not in Win95.
Cause:
Windows 95 has replaced the Windows 3.1x task list with the Taskbar, which displays all running programs and by default is made visible by clicking the 'Start' button at the bottom of the screen.
Solution:
Click on the appropriate Taskbar button to display any currently running programs. A list of available programs can be found in the 'Start' menu.
Do one of the following to switch between running programs:
1) Click the appropriate program button on the Taskbar.
