- WHAT IS CLICKSAVE?
- ------------------
-
- ClickSave allows you to secure your desktop from prying eyes quickly and
- easily. The screen saver (with the password enabled) is ideal for locking
- your machine while you are away from your desk - ClickSave allows you to
- run it instantly.
-
- You can also get ClickSave to log you off automatically, or shut down your
- machine - ideal in shared environments where security is a concern.
-
- ClickSave also manages the launcher icons that you can add to your system
- tray. Just drag items from your desktop or from Internet Explorer
-
- Finally, ClickSave also gives you fast access to your favourite
- applications. The DeskLaunch icon resides in your system tray, and lets
- you run any of the programs on your desktop from the menu. If you like
- to have an uncluttered desktop, there is a second launcher menu that you
- can add applications and documents to - simply drag icons to the system
- tray to add them!
-
- Control your screen saver:
-
- - Double-click the tray icon
- - Use a hot key
- - Leave the mouse pointer over a specified corner of the screen
- - Start the screen saver from the command line
- - Start the screen saver when your system starts
- - Disable the screen saver quickly (useful for when you are defragmenting
- your hard disk, for example)
-
- Log off quickly/automatically:
-
- - log off, shut down, or restart your machine quickly from the tray
- - log off or shut down automatically when the system is idle
-
- Other features:
-
- - Add menu items to the menu or desktop to launch your favourite apps
- - Show display properties
- - Show your desktop by minimising all windows
- - Browse your folders quickly
- - Turn your system tray into a toolbar
- - Very low impact on your system compared with other utilities
- - View your desktop (or other folders) in a menu anywhere on the screen
- with the middle mouse button
- - Emulated middle mouse button for two-button mice
-
- There are also a number of 'undocumented' flags to suit individual users'
- needs - take a look at the web site for more:

-
-
- HOW DOES IT WORK?
- -----------------
-
- The program runs automatically when you start Windows. The screen saver
- icon and/or the DeskLaunch icon appears on the system status tray at the
- bottom-right of your desktop. Double-clicking on the first icon starts
- your screen saver - simple as that! Double-clicking the second icon
- clears exposes your desktop.
-
- The icons also have associated menus (activated with the right mouse
- button) which allow you to quickly log off or shut down your machine, or
- to set your display settings. You can also add launcher items to the
- screen saver icon by dragging them onto the system tray, or onto the
- settings dialog.
-
