SYMPTOMS
The MS-DOS button on the taskbar appears distorted or partially indented if you drag an icon from the desktop and hold it over the MS-DOS button until the MS-DOS session opens, then return to the Windows 95 desktop. This problem occurs only if the MS-DOS button represents a full-screen MS-DOS session.
CAUSE
The Windows shell is not notified that a change has occurred when you release the mouse button after the full-screen MS-DOS session is displayed. When you minimize the MS-DOS session, the shell is unsure of the current state of the program and displays the taskbar button incorrectly.
RESOLUTION
Click the taskbar button to re-open the MS-DOS session, then press ALT+TAB to return to the desktop.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Windows 95. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
