I'm trying to configure windows XP to do two things - both taskbar
related, and wondered if ya'll could help.
 
Firstly, I'd like more programs to appear on the taskbar when I start
them instead of having them wrap automatically after so many are
started. (with win9x and even win2000, I believe you could get near 16
or so programs before they wrapped).  
 
Now with XP, I couldn't possibly get ten.
 
Secondly, DOS windows automatically become windows when a task starts
flashing (trying to get your attention).  I know we've discussed
flashing windows before, but I wondered if there was a way to turn this
"feature" off - - windows 2000 does not do that.  [your full screen DOS
windows will remain that way until you switch back].
 
Thanks in advance!
