Message "Click here to begin" Missing from Taskbar

• Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0, Terminal Server Edition

SYMPTOMS

When you log on to Terminal Server, you will not see the animated message, "Click here to begin," start on the right side of the Taskbar and quickly move to the left side of the Taskbar. The message stops when it bumps into the START button, and remains until the user starts the program.

When you log on to Windows NT Server 4.0, you will see this feature and other Taskbar features that are seen with Windows NT Server. By default on a Terminal Server, the Taskbar will only display the START button.

To add the clock to Terminal Server:

1. Click START, choose Settings.



2. Click Taskbar. This will open the Taskbar Properties windows.



3. Check the Show Clock checkbox.

RESOLUTION

This behavior is by design.

STATUS

We explicitly removed these features from the product because this data must be sent over the Network, causing unnecessary overhead to Terminal Server Client sessions. This is the same reason the clock is turned off by default.
