*Customize your system menus*

DESCRIPTION
Are you tired of not being able to find that buried window? Would you
likely to instantly locate any window on your desktop? Would you like
to be able to quickly make a window stay on top or move all the way to
the back? Need to hide that window before the boss sees it? Would you
like to know what invisible windows are running on your desktop? Are
you tired of being nagged when you want to exit Windows? Are you
bored with the same old menu names?
WinChanger can help with all of these things. And it is directly
accesible from almost all of the windows on your screen. Switching
windows is a breeze even with all windows maximized. Just click on
the system-menu box in the upper-left corner of most windows.
WinChanger is unobtrusive uses very little memory and does not use any
timers.
WinChanger comes with the Program Initiator. This is a utility which
allows you to run programs by directory/filename, by Program Manager
group/item, by history of programs recently run, or by maintaining a
list of favorite programs. Favorite programs may be configured to be
located at specific screen coordinates or in various modes.
WinChanger is an add-on Windows utility that operates by adding items
to the system-menu. The system-menu is available from almost every
window on the desktop by left-clicking on the system-menu-box in the
upper-left corner of most windows. WinChanger is for Windows 3.1 or
higher.
INSTALLATION
Installation may be performed automatically by running WCSETUP.EXE.
If the automatic installation fails or you prefer to do a manual
installation, please refer to the INSTALLATION section of the
WinChanger help file (WCHANGER.HLP).
WinChanger may be started by clicking the WinChanger 2.1 icon, running
WCHANGER.EXE or by choosing WCHANGER.EXE from the File Manager.
Once WinChanger is running, its menu may be accessed at any time by
bringing up the system-menu of most windows. This is the menu that
contains things like "Restore", "Minimize" and "Close" and is usually
available by left-clicking on the small box in the upper-left corner
of the window.
