* The Windows Resource dialog box reported amounts of free memory greater than 32767KB as a negative number.
* If DH is used as a replacement shell (i.e., in SYSTEM.INI[boot]- shell=dh.exe instead of shell=progman.exe) then DH shouldn't display a useless and annoying title bar at the top of the desktop screen. Also, "Close" should not be included in the DH menu. The only valid method of shutting the system down, in this case, should be "Exit Windows" or "Restart Windows". When used as the system shell, DH will now process the "load" and "run" lines of WIN.INI.
* Fixed a minor memory leak in "Task" dialog box. If you just chose Cancel instead of taking another action then the array of task entries is not free'd and therefore a few more bytes of memory are no longer available.
* Fixed the "Run Minimized" button in the "Run" dialog box so that it can now be checked.
* When an error message appears, the system MessageBeep function is now called to play the wave file associated with the system alert level that is indicated by the ICON in the message dialog box. For those systems without sound capability this should result in a speaker beep.
The Desktop Helper is a Windows 3.1 Desktop utility that provides capabilities missing from Program Manager while also providing the more important capabilities of the Task Manager. Features include:
* Convenient pop-up menu available from any window.
* Configurable launch list of frequently executed programs.
* Ability to switch to or terminate a task, even if the task is not currently visible (ie. hidden by other windows).
* Ability to arrange Desktop windows and ICONs. The "Cascade" and "Tile" features available only if you are running Windows 3.0.
* Ability to exit Windows without "save" confirmation box.
* Pop-up file selector browser to choose a file to run.
* No useless ICON to clutter up the Desktop.
* Small memory usage--occupies less than 18K of memory when not in use. When activated, less than 4K segments of program code load into memory. When finished, Windows is free to remove these extra segments if the memory space is needed by other applications.
