SaverButton is a tiny Windows(TM) program to activate
or inactivate Windows screen saver with only a mouse
double-click. This program is developped by Ping Huang
and James Zheng and is distributed free of any charge.
The program is about 9 KB in file size and requires
less than 10 KB while running.
There are already a few similar programs around, but
most of them require you to move your mouse cursor to
and stay in certain areas on your desktop screen to
activate or inactivate the screen saver. It is kind
of anonying if one can not use the mouse afterward.
That's why we have developed this small program.
While SaverButton is running, you can activate Windows
screen saver immediately by double-clicking the program
icon with your left mouse button (or switch to it using
Alt-Tab keys or Task list). To inactivate Windows screen
saver (preventing it kicking in), double-click the program
icon with your right mouse button. The text underlying the
icon will indicate whether the screen saver is active or
inactive.
--- INSTALLATION ---
The program is mostly useful when it is loaded every
time Windows starts. To have Windows load SaverButton
during the startup automatically, follow the steps
below:
(1) Copy the program (Saverbtn.exe) to any directory on
your hard disk;
(2) Open win.ini located in your Windows directory
using a text editor such as Windows Notepad;
(3) Find the line with "Load= xxxx" and append
"fullpath\saverbtn.exe" to it, here "fullpath" is
the full pathname where saverbtn.exe is located
(e.g. c:\saverbtn\saverbtn.exe);
(4) Restart your Windows.
Alternatively, if you are using Windows 3.1, you can add
saverbtn.exe to your STARTUP group. To do this:
(1) Run File Manager and find saverbtn.exe;
(2) Drag saverbtn.exe to STARTUP group in Program Manager.
For more information, please check your Windows manual.
