SUMMARY
Both MS-DOS version 5.0 Shell and Windows provide task switching. Having two task switchers simultaneously in memory may cause a conflict; therefore, when using Shell and Windows together, do not enable the Shell task switcher.



MORE INFORMATION
MS-DOS versions 4.x Shell does not provide task switch capabilities, so there is no problem using those Shell versions with Windows.
