>Is it legal to distribute the Task Pane Manager as part of an application that I build. I didn't find the file listed in REDIST.TXT, but I'm not sure that's an answer (I hate denial by omission).
Jack,
The Task Pane isn't listed in REDIST.TXT so you cannot redistribute it "as is" but you can use it's source code to build your own applications.
