ScrnSaveSwitch/Plus
Screen Saver Control Utility
Version 4.10
for Microsoft Windows NT & 95
c 1994-97 AWS (Aaron Writes Software)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
=========
Summary
=========
Protect your downloads, tape backups, faxes, CD-ROM recordings; secure
your workstation. Let your screen saver run when and only when you want
it to! Highly configurable, ScrnSaveSwitch/Plus gives you the fastest
and most complete control possible over your Windows screen saver. A
click to a taskbar icon or a small button bar, or a quick keypress, lets
you enable, disable, start, or configure your screen saver. You can
also set the screen saver delay in one second (rather than one minute)
increments, and automatically disable password entry during screen saver
preview. Command line interface for use with program schedulers. It
also provides quick and safe methods to log off, shut down or restart
your computer.
There's lots more: see the Help file for more information.
==============
Installation
==============
1. Move or copy SSSWITCH.EXE, SSSRST16.EXE, and SSSWITCH.HLP into a new
or existing directory.
2. Win95 or NT 4.0: Add a shortcut to SSSWITCH.EXE to your Start Menu.
The "StartUp" folder is a good place to add it.
Win NT 3.51: Add the SSSWITCH icon to your Windows NT Program Manager
(File/New/Program Item...). "StartUp" is a good program group
to add it to.
================
Uninstallation
================
1. Delete the above files from your hard drive.
2. Delete the SSSWITCH.INI file from your Windows directory.
3. Delete the SSSWITCH icon from Program Manager or Start Menu.

Why ScrnSaveSwitch/Plus?
==========================
* So programs run correctly:
Not all software behaves correctly if the screen saver suddenly comes
on. Clicking the "screen" icon is a simple and convenient way to
protect your downloads, tape backups, faxes, CD-ROM recording, etc.
Also, many screen savers require a lot of processor power, which can
drastically slow down other programs.
* Security:
If your screen saver is password-protected, a quick click of the "S"
Button or a Hot Key shortcut starts the screen saver immediately and
lets you leave your workstation without fear of othersÆ prying.
* So you can work:
Your computer can't tell whether you're reading what's on the screen,
attending to another matter, or fast asleep! It's all "inactivity" as
far as the computer is concerned - but it can be an annoying
interruption to you.
Windows 95's "sleep corners" are OK, as long as you remember to keep
your mouse there. They shoulda done it this way!
+ Plus - The "Windows Exit..." utilities:
Many programs (including Windows itself) never release the memory or
other system resources they acquire. The only way to make those
resources available again is to quit Windows and then restart it.
Sometimes a whole reboot is required to restore a system to "normal"!
These utilities make that reinitialization safe, simple, fast and
keyboard-free.
