PC Access® Terminal Window Automatically Minimizes to the Windows Taskbar

Quick Contents

Introduction

This problem can occur when the following conditions are true:

• in a previous PC Access for Windows session, you minimized the Terminal window to the Windows Taskbar.
• while the Terminal window was in the Taskbar, you right-clicked on it and clicked Close. This closed the Terminal window.

PC Access stores the window state in the PC Access agent file: PCAWIN.AGT. To correct this problem, you can delete the PCAWIN.AGT. For more information, see: Correcting the Minimize Problem.
