Showing and hiding Windows

The Windows Configuration dialog will list all the available windows available in the Workspace. The windows are all named. If the check box next to the name is checked it means that the window is currently visible.  If the box is unchecked it means the window is hidden.  You can check the windows you want displayed and uncheck the windows you wish to hide.  If a window is checked but you cannot see it in Automation Manager it may be hidden behind another window. Press reset to see it
